Yash Raj Films is finally stepping into horror, and Varun Dhawan is going to lead the way. The actor has come on board YRF’s first-ever theatrical horror film, with Rocket Boys fame Abhay Pannu set to direct the project. The film is currently untitled and is planned for a theatrical release in 2027. Here’s what we know:
YRF Is Finally Doing Horror
Yash Raj Films has explored everything from romance and action to drama and thrillers, but a theatrical horror film has never been part of its lineup. That changes with this upcoming project, which will mark YRF’s first-ever theatrical horror feature.
Varun Dhawan Is Taking The Lead
Varun Dhawan has officially come on board as the lead. This will be his second collaboration with YRF after Sui Dhaaga, but this time, he is stepping into a completely different genre.
Abhay Pannu Is Making His Big-Screen Debut
The film will be directed and written by Abhay Pannu, best known for creating the acclaimed series Rocket Boys. The project will also mark Pannu’s debut as a theatrical feature director.
The Film Is Planned For 2027
Production is expected to begin later in 2026, with the film targeting a theatrical release in 2027. For now, the makers are keeping the storyline and Varun’s character under wraps.
A Very Different Varun Dhawan
Varun has already experimented with romance, comedy, drama and action throughout his career. A full-fledged horror film gives him another genre to play around with. And considering YRF is entering horror for the first time, there’s definitely plenty of curiosity around this one.
KnowBuddys Take
