“It is a genre that I have always wanted to delve in. While love and romance have been entwined with Indian cinema, there is an abundance of that emotion that everyone can have their own interpretations of. Juhi and I have always tried to create stories from the reflections of real-life moments that we see around us. October is another effort to explore those moments out of simple situations of life,” shared Shoojit in an earlier statement.

Reportedly, Varun will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar in this film.
