Bhumi Satish Pednekar is heading into psychological horror territory. The actor is locked to headline Jaani Dushman, billed as an ambitious, original theatrical horror franchise backed by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series Films and Prabhleen Sandhu’s Almighty Motion Picture. The film is being mounted as a theatrical release for 2027.
Set entirely in the United Kingdom, Jaani Dushman follows an intense, emotionally heavy mother-daughter story tangled up in buried family secrets and a haunting.
The project reunites the creative team behind the sleeper-hit paranormal series Bhay – The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery. Robbie Grewal is on board as Creative Producer, while Arshad Syed will direct. The film marks a quick follow-up to the two production houses' recent acclaimed collaboration on Made in India – A Titan Story.
The makers have also brought on board veteran British stunt coordinator Peter Pedrero, whose career is heavily rooted in horror and action blockbusters, with films like The Conjuring, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and The Expendables.
Talking about the upcoming franchise and the collaboration, producer Bhushan Kumar said Jaani Dushman brings together an interesting mix of talent, with "Pedrero’s expertise in action and stunts adding an important dimension to the project."
"We are also happy to have Bhumi on board. We hope to offer audiences an engaging theatrical experience and explore the horror genre in an exciting way.”
Prabhleen Sandhu, Founder of Almighty Motion Picture, said the team is excited to join forces once again with T Series "for a completely different cinematic experience."
"With an exceptional & a powerhouse performer like Bhumi leading the film and internationally acclaimed stunt specialist Peter Pedrero joining us, our vision is to redefine Indian horror with a spectacular and unforgettable theatrical experience."
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Prabhleen Sandhu, and Ajay Singhal, with Shiv Chanana and Sunita Vinod Vyas co-producing, the project is scheduled to begin filming shortly ahead of its 2027 theatrical release.
