More than two decades after his chilling turn in Bhoot (2003), Ajay Devgn is stepping back into the world of horror with a bold new project directed by Rohit Jugraj. The film, set against the atmospheric backdrop of London, will begin shooting in July 2026, right after Devgn wraps up work on two of his most anticipated films—Golmaal 5 and Drishyam 3.
This upcoming gothic horror marks a significant shift in Devgn’s career trajectory. While audiences have recently seen him in thrillers and family entertainers, this role casts him as a dark supernatural villain, a character that promises to explore the sinister side of his acting range. The choice of London as the setting adds a layer of gothic intrigue, with its historic architecture and moody landscapes providing the perfect canvas for a story steeped in supernatural tension.
Director Rohit Jugraj, known for his stylish storytelling, is expected to bring a fresh visual language to the genre. Early reports suggest the film will lean heavily into gothic aesthetics—grand mansions, shadowy corridors, and eerie atmospheres—while weaving in psychological elements that challenge both the protagonist and the audience. For Devgn, this is not just a return to horror but a reinvention, blending his seasoned intensity with a narrative designed to unsettle and captivate.
