Ronnie Screwvala's 'Kakuda' to star Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem
Film producer Ronnie Screwvala on Tuesday announced his upcoming home production film “Kakuda”, starring Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem. The horror-comedy started filming from Tuesday and will be shot in various parts of Gujarat, according to a press release issued by the makers. The movie will mark the Hindi directorial debut of filmmaker Aditya Sarpotdar, known for critically-acclaimed Marathi films “Classmates”, “Mauli” and “Faster Fene”.
“Kakuda” explores the legend of a strange curse in a village stuck in time and how three people are confronted with a challenging ghost who makes them question superstition, tradition and love in a rollercoaster ride filled with fear and fun.
“With a clear focus on homegrown ideas and development, I am excited to announce our horror-comedy ‘Kakuda’.
With a solid script, an extremely talented cast and driven director, we hope to push the boundary within the genre,” Screwvala said in a statement.
Sinha, 34, believes that the horror-comedy will serve as a perfect treat for viewers amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
“Considering the current situation, a fun comedy film is truly the need of the hour. I loved the script of ‘Kakuda’ from the moment I read it. It’s the kind of movie I would enjoy watching as an audience,” she added.
