The cryptic posts on Dharma Productions’ Instagram and Twitter handles finally have a meaning! Karan Johar and Vicky Kaushal shared the poster of their new film titled Bhoot on Monday. The poster shows Vicky Kaushal in a completely new look, as he seems to cry for help from a window of what appears to be a ship.
The post is captioned, “Sink into the world of fear! Presenting #Bhoot Part One - The Haunted Ship, directed by @bhanu.singh.91 . In cinemas 15th November, 2019. @karanjohar @apoorvamehta1972@shashankkhaitan @dharmamovies. Bhumi Pednekar also shared the poster and confirmed that she’ll be essaying a special role in the film.
Dharma Productions also shared some inside photos from the set of the film. In the stills, Vicky can be seen an all new avatar as for the first time, he forays into this new genre. Take a look at the photographs here.
According to the poster, Bhoot will be a franchise with this being the part one. The first part is titled The Haunted Ship. It is being directed by Shashank Khaitan’s assistant Bhanu Pratap Singh and will be in theaters on 15 November 2019.
The film is said to be set in a ship that has been abandoned on the shore. This will be Dharma’s first ever franchise and a relatively new genre for Karan Johar as he has dabbled mostly in romantic comedies and drama. The last horror flick he produced was Kaal which didn’t do well at the box office.
Dharma Productions on Friday 7 June had shared a series of cryptic posts on their Instagram page teasing the horror film franchise. The graphic said “Dharma Productions is anchoring a new franchise of fear. 15 November 2019. Sea you soon!”
