Yash Raj Films' first horror film, with Varun Dhawan, to release on March 31, 2028

Yash Raj Films has fixed the release date of its first horror film. The film will open in cinemas worldwide on March 31, 2028. Varun Dhawan will play the lead role and Abhay Pannu will direct.

The film's name has not been decided yet, and the title has not been announced. The film is said to offer audiences a completely new horror experience that will keep them gripped on the big screen.

Audiences expect big sets, big budgets and heavy production from YRF films. This horror film is also being made on the same grand scale and with good production values. The difference is that this time it is not a love story or an action film but a straight ghost film. With this project, Yash Raj Films is officially stepping into theatrical horror.

YRF has so far made romances, action films, dramas, comedies and thrillers, and its list of films runs from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to Pathaan and War. It had never made a horror film. This film will add a new genre to its list.

The film is being made under the guidance of Aditya Chopra. YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani is the producer of the film.

Director Abhay Pannu is known for the web series Rocket Boys, which was well liked. He will now direct this horror film. He has also written the story and screenplay. It will be Pannu's first film as director of a theatrical feature. He has so far made series and is now directing a film for the big screen for the first time, so a big responsibility rests on him.

The film is another example of YRF's efforts to promote talent that takes a new and different path in Indian cinema. YRF has been giving opportunities to new directors and new writers, and handing this film to Abhay Pannu is an instance of that.

Varun Dhawan will work with Yash Raj Films for the second time with this film. He has worked with YRF before. Audiences have so far seen Varun in comedy, romantic and action films. There is curiosity about how he will look in horror. He is said to appear in a completely different style in this film.

The release is more than a year away, yet YRF has announced the date already. The film's name, who will be the heroine opposite Varun and what the story will be will all emerge gradually. Audiences will have to wait to see what happens in cinemas on March 31, 2028.
