Varun Dhawan to Lead YRF’s Debut Horror Film, Eyes a Theatrical Release in 2027

Bollywood’s one of the most compelling production houses YRF is all set to step into the uncharted territory of the horror genre for the very first time. Headlining this maiden ambitious venture is Varun Dhawan, who marks another promising collaboration with the esteemed banner after Sui Dhaaga: Made in India in 2018.

As per a source close to the project, “Varun has come on board as the lead for YRF’s first horror film. Yash Raj Films (YRF) is entering the horror genre for the first time with a feature film directed by Abhay Pannu, strategically championed by Akshaye Widhani, and now headlined by Varun Dhawan as the lead. YRF have made films across almost every genre except horror. Come 2027, and the banner will finally step into this genre.”

YRF’s maiden horror feature will be helmed by director Abhay Pannu, who marks his theatrical directorial debut after receiving widespread acclaim for Rocket Boys. With Varun Dhawan now at the front and center of YRF’s first horror spectacle, the excitement surrounding this project is poised to grow as the ambitious studio prepares to stretch its body of work with a grand theatrical release planned for 2027.
