A ghost must be fearsome enough to match the imagination of fear in one’s mind. There are multiple steps involved in creating a ghost, right from conceiving a thought to building a scary character. The producers say, "We have had around 230 ghosts on Laal Ishq. To make them look real and frightening to the audience, a lot of prosthetic make up is used on them. These prosthetics take approximately 4 – 5 days to be made and even after that, if they don’t look a certain way then we get it redone which is an extensive process to go through. After this, in the post production phase, the editing involves heavy

VFX

which plays another important role in the making of the ghost."

Mayank Mishra

who plays a ghost in Laal Ishq says, “Taking up the role of a ghost is mentally and physically challenging as one doesn’t get a chance to showcase who he is. It takes up almost 6 hours for me to get ready for my role in Laal Ishq due to the heavy prosthetics and costume. The initial thought that crossed my mind when I took up the role was that this is going to be challenging. Also, I secretly dreamt of playing the bad ghost while growing up. Every child has a certain perception of a ghost and I got to play one which was a great opportunity to come out of my fantasy world.”
