Kaushik's segment in 'Lust Stories 3' might feature comedic elements
This will be Kaushik's first step outside of Maddock Films's horror-comedy universe.
Although not much is known about his short film, it is expected to have some comical elements, considering it has become his forte.
The source continued, "This will be the first time that he'll be stepping out of the Maddock Films's horror-comedy universe. While much isn't known about his short film, one may expect comical elements as that's what Amar's storytelling has become popular for."
