    What's the story

    Acclaimed director Priyadarshan has revealed his latest project, a horror-comedy film featuring Bollywood star Akshay Kumar!

    The movie, produced by Ektaa Kapoor, will explore superstition surrounding magic.

    This will mark the first collaboration between Priyadarshan and Kumar in 14 years, following their successful work on popular films such as Hera Pheri, Bhagam Bhaag, and Garam Masala.

    Film details

    Priyadarshan's upcoming film is a 'horror fantasy with humor'

    In a recent interview with HT City, Priyadarshan shared insights about his upcoming film.

    He described the project as a "horror fantasy with humor," rooted in magic - one of India's oldest superstitions.

    The director differentiated this movie from his previous psychological thriller Bhool Bhulaiyaa, stating, "That was a psychological thriller, but this one will be fantasy."

    Director's take

    Helmer praised Kumar's ability to portray emotions

    Priyadarshan expressed his enthusiasm about working with Kumar again, praising the actor's ability to effectively portray emotions on screen.

    He stated, "I was waiting for a good subject to get back with him, and this one I feel will be that."

    The director also shared his preference for original films over sequels, despite acknowledging their commercial success.
