Ajay Devgn is set to revisit the horror genre after over two decades, with a new high-concept project currently in the works. According to a report by PinkVilla, the actor will headline an upcoming horror film
directed by Rohit Jugraj, marking an interesting collaboration between the two.
Ajay Devgn Returns To Horror
The yet-untitled film is presently in pre-production and is being backed by producer Kumar Mangat. Known for his work in Punjabi cinema with hits like Sardaarji and Sardaarji 2, Rohit Jugraj is now stepping into the Hindi horror space with this ambitious project.
This marks Ajay Devgn’s return to the genre after his 2003 film Bhoot, making the project particularly significant for fans who have long awaited his comeback to pure horror.
A High-Concept, Atmospheric Horror
Sources close to the development suggest that the film will lean heavily into atmospheric storytelling, aiming to move away from formula-driven horror tropes.
“The narrative leans into atmospheric storytelling, setting it apart from conventional horror films. The film will be shot extensively in London and the makers are currently deep into pre-production, locking key technical departments and screenplay,” a source revealed.
With a strong cinematic scale in mind, the makers are focusing on crafting a visually immersive experience that blends mood, tension, and storytelling.
Casting Underway
Casting for the project is currently in progress, with the team looking to assemble a strong ensemble cast around Ajay Devgn. While details about the supporting actors remain under wraps, reports suggest that the makers are keen on bringing in a mix of fresh faces alongside established performers.
Shoot Timeline And Title
The film is expected to go on floors in July, with the team working on finalising key aspects of production. Interestingly, the makers have also locked a unique and intriguing title, which is expected to be announced soon.
Ajay Devgn’s Work Front
Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn is currently busy shooting for Golmaal 5 in Mumbai. The film, part of Rohit Shetty’s popular franchise, is slated for a theatrical release in 2027.
With his return to horror and a fresh directorial pairing, Ajay Devgn’s upcoming project is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated genre films in the pipeline.
