Had to sell office in Corona: Actually, in a recent conversation with Indian Express, Ram Gopal Varma told that due to the epidemic, I had to sell my office.

Shooting of ‘Girl’ was stopped in lockdown: Verma further told that I started shooting for the film two years ago. Then came the pandemic. It was to be shot outdoor, so we had to meet and talk to many people. But we could not go out due to the lockdown. Secondly, there were some Chinese actors in our film, who could not come to India due to Corona restrictions. It was an Indo-China production, so we could not shut it down and we had to wait for normalcy in both the countries.
The film will be released on more than 30 thousand screens: Director Ram Gopal Varma further states that his film ‘Girl’ will be released on more than 30 thousand screens in China. He says, “It is an Indo-China production. It is not like Hindi films which are later dubbed for Chinese audience. That’s why it will be released on more than 30 thousand screens there. Because Indian films made on martial arts attract him a lot.
Didn’t use VFX or body double: During the interview, when Varma was asked why he chose a new face for his film, he said, “I needed a professional martial artist, not an actor, who Do martial arts to stay fit. We have not used VFX or body double in the film. This is a very realistic film, which only a martial artist can do.
