Ltd. production, produced under the banner of Applause Entertainment, stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Arjun Rampal and Tanmay Dhanania.

Aparna Sen while writing script for her 3rd Hindi film The Rapist, said "What drew me to this is the psychology of the three main protagonists.

Stripping off the layers and carefully built up facades to get to the real person underneath is quite a challenge and a fascinating process.

The filmmaker Aparna Sen in her pre-production interview said, The Rapist will be a “hard-hitting drama that examines how much of society is responsible for producing rapists.”[2] Principal photography began in early March 2021 in Delhi.

Kuipers opined about the film, “The Rapist is a deeply affecting portrait of personal trauma and an intelligent examination of social and cultural factors fueling the horrifying prevalence of sexual violence in India."
