Varun Dhawan is set to headline Yash Raj Films’ first full-scale horror project, marking the studio’s entry into the genre with a major star in the lead. The film is being developed under YRF as a new project rather than an extension of one of its established action franchises. Further details on the director, supporting cast, production schedule and release date have not yet been formally disclosed. The casting gives Dhawan another genre shift after comedy, drama and action roles in mainstream Hindi cinema.
