Vicky Kaushal is definitely trying out different genres. After his blockbuster hit Uri - The Surgical Strike, he is preparing for the Udham Singh biopic, directed by Shoojit Sircar. Vicky has other films in his kitty too. One of them is a horror film titled Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship. The makers have taken the occasion of Friday the 13th to unveil a new poster.
We can see Vicky Kaushal struggling to get to the top while drowning in a sinking ship. However, a ghost grabs him back.
Produced by Dharma, Karan Johar and Vicky Kaushal had shared the first poster of the film some time back. 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.
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.
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.
