Ajay Devgn Returns to the Supernatural: Production Commences on Untitled Horror Thriller
Bollywood powerhouse Ajay Devgn is set to send chills down the spines of cinema-goers once again. The actor and producer officially announced today that his latest, yet-to-be-titled horror thriller has commenced production, marking another ambitious entry into the genre following the massive success of Shaitaan.
Directed by Rohit Jugraj—known for his distinct visual style in projects like Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and the Sardaar Ji franchise—the film promises to be a masterclass in atmospheric dread. The project is a collaborative effort between Devgn Films and Panorama Studios, spearheaded by producers Kumar Mangat and Abhishek Pathak.
A Proven Trio of Success
This production marks the latest union between Devgn, Kumar Mangat, and Abhishek Pathak, a trio that has previously found significant box-office success. Reflecting on the partnership and the project’s potential, Ajay Devgn shared his enthusiasm in an interview with Variety India: “Audiences have given Shaitaan and Raid 2 a lot of love. We are coming together once again with Panorama Studios for this intense horror thriller. It’s a strong story, and I’m looking forward to bringing it to the audience.”
The actor also took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a celebratory “mahurat” photo, teasing fans with the caption: “Darr ka mahaul… hone wala hai” (An atmosphere of fear… is about to begin).
Building a Haunted World
Producer Abhishek Pathak highlighted that the film aims to rely on psychological suspense rather than mere spectacle. “When I first heard the script, I immediately sensed its eerie world, haunted characters, and deepening atmosphere of mystery and dread,” Pathak noted. “Its suspense comes not from spectacle, but from the questions it raises and the unease it quietly builds.”
Pathak added that having Devgn involved both in front of and behind the camera has elevated the project, providing a “creative dimension” that solidifies the collaboration between the two production houses.
Director Rohit Jugraj’s Ambitious Vision
For director Rohit Jugraj, this untitled feature represents a significant step onto a larger cinematic canvas. Having built a reputation for setting intense moods through shows like Chamak and his celebrated Punjabi film series, Jugraj is eager to dive into the dark, visceral world of this new thriller.
“I’m truly grateful and excited to be entrusted with this film,” said Jugraj. “The opportunity to direct a film of this scale, with Ajay Devgn leading the cast… is incredibly special. I look forward to creating an immersive cinematic experience for audiences.”
As the cameras roll, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be a high-stakes, spine-tingling addition to the Indian horror landscape. With a blend of proven star power, seasoned production experience, and a director known for moody, immersive storytelling, this project is shaping up to be one of the most awaited thrillers of the upcoming calendar year.
