Rohit Shetty is ready to surprise audiences with a genre he’s never explored before – horror. The filmmaker is stepping into the supernatural space with an upcoming film, which will star Nushrratt Bharuccha in the lead.
Rohit Shetty to venture into horror with Nushrratt Bharuccha led film: Report
According to a report by Mid-Day, Shetty has been mulling over the idea of venturing into horror for over a year. “He’s always been drawn to stories that evoke strong emotional reactions, and horror can be just as visceral as action,” the report quoted an insider close to the development. “Nushrratt was his first choice. Her performance in Chhorii showed she can carry a horror plot with both vulnerability and strength.”
The film will be directed by E Niwas, who is known for Shool and Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega. Shetty is reportedly keen to keep the horror grounded and unsettling, a tone Niwas is expected to deliver with his gritty sensibility. The yet-untitled project is currently in pre-production.
Plot details are being kept under wraps. But speculation is that the story revolves around a woman confronting supernatural forces tied to a deeply buried secret. The team is still working through script revisions and finalising the rest of the cast. If all goes as planned, the film is expected to go on the floors later this year.
For Shetty, this project expands his production portfolio. As for Nushrratt, this could be another opportunity to build on her horror credentials following the critical acclaim she received for Chhorii.
More details, including the title and supporting cast, are expected to be announced in the coming months.
