Ajay Devgn’s Same Setup, New Film: Can It Scare Gen Z?

Ajay Devgn is set to return to the horror genre with director Rohit Jugraj’s upcoming film, reportedly titled Griha Pravesh. The project is currently in pre production and has already started generating curiosity among fans of supernatural thrillers.

The film is planned to be shot extensively in the United Kingdom, mainly in London. Ajay Devgn will be seen in a darker role, with a specially designed look created to suit the film’s eerie and intense atmosphere.

This collaboration stands out as Rohit Jugraj had earlier assisted Ram Gopal Varma on Bhoot, which also featured Ajay Devgn. Their past association with the horror genre adds an interesting layer to this upcoming project.

However, the title Griha Pravesh has raised some doubts. It does not strongly suggest a horror theme and instead sounds closer to a family or social drama. This has led to mixed reactions among early observers.

The core idea of people moving into a new house and facing supernatural events feels familiar. Films like Bhoot explored similar themes years ago, and many versions of this concept have appeared across films and web series since then.

Ajay Devgn has recently shown his ability to carry supernatural stories with films like Shaitaan. However, expectations are now higher, and audiences are looking for fresh storytelling rather than repeated ideas.

With exposure to global horror content, viewers today expect innovation and originality. Relying only on visuals, location or character design may not be enough to create a strong impact at the box office.

The film stands out in Ajay Devgn’s lineup, which includes several franchise projects. Its success will depend on whether Rohit Jugraj can present a new narrative that feels engaging and different from existing horror films.
