Varun Dhawan to Headline YRF's First-Ever Horror Film
A big movie star in India named Varun Dhawan is going to be in a scary new movie.
The movie will be made by a famous studio called Yash Raj Films, which usually makes love stories, action movies, and thrillers.
This will be the very first real horror movie the studio has ever made.
The studio decided to try horror because a scary Hollywood movie called Obsession became very popular around the world.
The person writing and directing the movie is Abhay Pannu, who created a popular TV show called Rocket Boys.
It will be his very first movie shown in theaters.
Varun has been in a funny scary movie before called Bhediya, but this new movie will be serious and scary instead of funny.
Filming will start later this year, and the movie should come out in theaters in 2027.
Varun Dhawan has signed on to headline Yash Raj Films' first-ever horror feature.
The project was prompted by the global success of the Hollywood horror hit Obsession.
Abhay Pannu, creator of the acclaimed series Rocket Boys, will write and direct the film in his theatrical directorial debut.
Unlike Varun's earlier horror-comedy Bhediya, the new project will be a straight, grounded horror film.
Production is scheduled to begin later this year, with a theatrical release targeted for 2027.
