After redefining horror for a generation and becoming one of the vital recognisable faces of the genre in Indian cinema, Emraan Hashmi is ready to headline Rooh, a high-concept musical-horror spectacle designed for a theatrical experience. The film is slated for a 2027 theatrical release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
Emraan Hashmi returns to horror after 5 years with Rooh, set for 2027 release
Directed by Mayank Sharma, the creator-director of the highly acclaimed Prime Video’s Breathe Franchise, Rooh brings together a novel mix of new-age horror, music and emotion, envisioned as a spine-chilling cinematic experience. Known for his command over psychological depth, atmosphere and character-led storytelling, Mayank brings his immersive vision to a movie built for the massive screen.
Rooh brings Emraan Hashmi right into a world that’s near his heart and deeply connected to the form of cinema audiences have at all times loved him for. The film is written by Mayank Sharma and Vishal Kapoor, known for Lapachhapi and Chhorii, and produced by Vikram Khakhar and Sunny Khanna, a Vicked Movies Productions.
Speaking concerning the film, Emraan Hashmi shares, “Rooh is a movie that immediately connected with me since it brings together new-age horror, emotion and music in a really powerful way. It is a space that audiences have at all times related to me, and the world Mayank is creating feels intense, emotional and cinematic. That’s what excited me essentially the most about Rooh, and I’m really looking forward to audiences experiencing it on the massive screen.”
Speaking concerning the film, director Mayank Sharma adds, “As someone who has at all times loved the horror genre… Rooh is my try to create a movie that goes beyond fear. It’s emotionally layered and immersed with unsettling atmosphere and presented with contemporary cinematic treatment… I’m thrilled to collaborate with Emraan for this deeply layered character. My entire team and I hope to bring audiences a really unique and unforgettable horror experience.”
With Rooh, the intent is to create a haunting, immersive and emotionally charged cinematic journey that goes far beyond the conventions of a daily horror film.
Adding to the film’s business strength is its music. In true Emraan Hashmi style, Rooh will carry a robust soundtrack, with the primary glimpse of its tune already hinting on the form of melody, longing and emotional recall that audiences have at all times associated together with his movies. The mix of horror and memorable music gives the film a robust edge across cinema, digital, music, youth and wider audiences.
Industry insiders suggest that the project can be being developed with global ambitions, backed by international creative and technical collaborations that elevate the film’s visual scale and overall cinematic experience.
Greater than a traditional horror film, Rooh blends fear, emotion, music and supernatural power right into a theatrical world designed for audiences in India and beyond. With Emraan Hashmi, Mayank Sharma’s immersive vision and music as a serious business driver, Rooh is shaping as much as be one of the vital exciting horror properties to look at out for.
