'Phone Bhoot' expected to go on floors this year
Excel Entertainment's last Hindi theatrical outing was Gully Boy. Phone Bhoot, penned by Ravi Shankaran and Jasvinder Singh Bath, marks the first-ever collaboration between the three actors. The movie is expected to go on floors later this year and will be released in 2021. However, given the uncertainty that surrounds the entertainment world, nothing is etched in stone.
