Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar’s Rural Horror Film ‘Kaali Kheti’ set to Release in Theatres on October 23, 2026, poster out

Veteran actor Jackie Shroff, powerhouse performer Sharad Kelkar and Neha Sargam are set to headline the upcoming rural horror film Kaali Kheti, which is scheduled to release in theatres on October 23, 2026. The makers have officially announced the film’s release date with the unveiling of its poster, offering audiences a haunting glimpse into its eerie world.

Written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan and produced by Sana Khan, Kaali Kheti is set against a rural backdrop and explores a world where family, legacy and buried truths come together to create an unsettling tale of fear. The newly unveiled poster captures the ominous atmosphere of the film while keeping its central mystery under wraps. The visual keeps audiences guessing about what the film is truly about and what exactly they are looking at, adding to the intrigue surrounding its world.

Giving insights about the film, director Haris Imtiyaz Khan states, “For me Kaali Kheti is about examining agriculture through the lens of horror. Something I hadn’t seen before. Something that felt fresh, exciting and also deeply disturbing. The film is mirror to society, only the reflection exists in a scary and fantastical world. Sometimes this world doesn’t make sense but always feels strangely familiar. Perhaps that is the true horror.”

Produced under the banner of BlackCanvas Studio, the film brings together an ensemble cast led by Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar, with Neha Sargam, Virendra Saxena and Shaji Choudhary in pivotal roles.

The film is set to arrive in cinemas on October 23, 2026.
