Yash Raj Films has set March 31, 2028, as the worldwide theatrical release date for its first horror film, starring Varun Dhawan. The date is the latest update on the project, which was first announced in August with Dhawan in the lead and Abhay Pannu attached to direct. The film is still untitled.
For Pannu, who wrote and directed the series Rocket Boys, the project marks his debut as a theatrical feature director. Akshaye Widhani, the CEO of Yash Raj Films, will produce the film, which was developed under Aditya Chopra’s guidance.
Dhawan previously worked with the studio on Sui Dhaaga: Made in India, the 2018 drama in which he starred opposite Anushka Sharma. Horror is not new territory for the actor, who led the 2022 horror comedy Bhediya, but this is YRF’s first theatrical feature in the genre.
The studio has not revealed the plot or announced who will join Dhawan in the cast. For now, the release date is the most concrete new detail about the film.
