Ahead of its release, the makers organised a special screening in Mumbai, which was attended by Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Nanda.
The film, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu, is a crime-thriller. It is an official adaptation of the 2017 Spanish film, The Invisible Guest.
In an interview with The Indian Express, Sujoy Ghosh said Badla has a premise that he had not attempted before. “Badla has a very interesting premise. Something I had not attempted earlier. While making movies, there has to be a certain amount of excitement to keep one going. I had watched the Spanish movie. It took me a while to wrap my head around it. I read the original script and all its drafts. The initial struggle was how do I top this. More importantly, the question for me was that can I better it? It’s only after I found answers to my questions that I took up this project,” the Kahaani director said.
