Speaking about the movie, director Abhishek Kapoor commented, “Fitoor is a different film trying to capture a different world. It’s a very fantastical story which needed a certain look, specific kind of sets, and a certain kind of lighting. Kai Po Che was mostly shot on real locations, but here, when you make locations and sets from scratch, it’s an entirely different thing. As a director, I don’t want to repeat myself. The challenge is to be versatile.”
In the mystic corners of a valley, Noor (Aditya Roy Kapur) grows up in the shelter of Begum (Tabu) and is completely smitten by her daughter Firdaus (Katrina Kaif). On realizing this, Begum sends Firdaus off to London and urges Noor to be successful in order to win Firdaus. 15 years later, their paths cross and Noor, a successful artist now, is still mesmerized by Firdaus. But, she is now destined to marry Bilal (Rahul Bhatt) at the whims of Begum.
Will their love overcome societal limits as obsession, like they say will always finds its way.
