Director Siddharth Anand and Abhishek Bachchan are reportedly planning to expand their professional collaboration. The two are currently working together on the Shah Rukh Khan starrer King. Now, reports suggest they have already finalised another project.
The new project will reportedly explore the horror genre. This untitled film will mark a shift from the high action style usually associated with Siddharth Anand’s films. The team is said to be working on a darker and more intense narrative.
Siddharth Anand will produce the film under his Marflix banner. Unlike many recent Indian horror films that combine scares with comedy, this project is expected to be a serious thriller. The story will reportedly draw inspiration from folklore themes.
Sources say the film will also focus on emotional storytelling. At its core, the narrative will revolve around a father daughter relationship. The project is expected to include extensive visual effects to create a large scale cinematic experience.
For Abhishek Bachchan, this film could mark a new phase in his career. The actor has rarely explored the horror genre in the past. Reports suggest he may deliver a performance that is more intense and character focused.
Although Siddharth Anand will produce the project, he will not direct it. Instead, one of his close associates is expected to take charge of direction. The production team has not yet revealed further details about the director.
The association between Siddharth Anand and Abhishek Bachchan goes back many years. They have known each other since the film Salaam Namaste released in 2006. Their professional bond has grown stronger over time.
The two are currently collaborating on King, where Abhishek Bachchan reportedly plays the villain opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The film has already created significant buzz among audiences.
According to reports, the new horror project is expected to begin production in September 2026. More details about the cast and storyline may be revealed closer to the filming schedule.
