Mumbai, Feb 13 (IANS): As the upcoming movie ‘Crazxy’ starring Sohum Shah gears up for its release, new details are emerging from the days of its making.

A crew member has revealed an interesting incident when the team witnessed a theft of a large sum of money, the catch being that the thief stole fake currency used for the filming. However, the thief returned the money when they realised the mistake.

During the shoot in a remote village , the crew used fake currency notes as part of the film’s plot. However, during a break, the notes were stolen by unknown villagers, leaving the team in shock.

Speaking about the incident, a crew member shared, “We were in the middle of an intense shoot when we realized that the fake money we were using had vanished. At first, we were confused, but then we understood that some villagers had mistaken it for real cash”.

Realising what had happened, the crew quickly made an announcement in the village, clarifying that the stolen money was fake and meant only for filming. In a bizarre turn of events, just hours after the announcement, the notes reappeared in the exact spot they had been taken from.

The amusing incident quickly became a talking point among locals and fans, with many joking about the irony of the situation.

Earlier, the film’s poster was unveiled. It promised a bold, slick, and visually striking first look, hinting at the craziness that awaits.

The film is touted to be an emotionally charged edge-of-the-seat thriller about a father’s redemption, helmed by the makers of the critically and commercially acclaimed ‘Tumbbad’. It is written & directed by Girish Kohli.

The film is produced by Sohum Shah, Mukesh Shah, Amita Suresh Shah and Adesh Prasad under the banner of Sohum Shah Films with Ankit Jain as co-producer. The film is set to arrive in cinemas on February 28, 2025.
