Bhumi Pednekar is ready to trade drama for chills as she signs on to headline the upcoming supernatural thriller Jaani Dushman – Darr Ke Aage Maut Hai. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of the United Kingdom, the film marks a major shift into the horror genre for the actor. The makers teased the project with a spine-tingling first look, featuring a poster of a blood-stained hand emerging from the shadows to grip a woman’s bedsheet, signaling a dark and intense cinematic experience.
Behind the camera, the film boasts a powerhouse creative team. Arshad Syed, known for Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery, is stepping in as creative producer alongside Robbie Grewal. To ensure the scares and stunts are top-tier, the production has roped in Peter Pedrero, a veteran stunt specialist whose impressive resume includes blockbusters like Harry Potter, Fast & Furious, and The Conjuring. This international collaboration aims to elevate the film’s visual scale and supernatural intensity.
While the film promises plenty of hair-raising scares and high-octane action, the heart of the story rests on a complex mother-daughter relationship riddled with buried family secrets. Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series Films and Prabhleen Sandhu’s Almighty Motion Picture, the project is being developed as a long-term franchise, with this first installment tasked with building the foundation of its eerie world. Fans will have to wait a while to see how it all unfolds, as the film is currently slated for a theatrical release in 2027.
