Vidya Balan Shares Interesting Story About The Location Where ‘Neeyat’ Was Shot

Vidya Balan was promoting her new film, Neeyat. It was her first film that launched on the big screens on July 7, 2023, after the pandemic lockdown. While they were watching the film trailer, Kamiya wanted to know about the locations of where the film was shot. 

Vidya shared with us, “The film was shot in London and in Scotland.” She goes on to say that when she read the script for Neeyat, it was evident to her that they would have to make a set for the castle described. But Anu Menon, the director, actually found a castle a little too similar to the one she had depicted in the script. 

Talking in admiration about the castle, Vidya said, “It’s on a cliff, and it’s stunning!” She went on to say that for a detective film like Neeyat, the mysterious and intriguing castle just near the cliff, is picture-perfect.
