Directed by Rajiv S Ruia and produced by Devesh Kumar under the banner of Native Cinemas, the film is set in the mysterious village of Jangipura and centres around a haunting tale rooted in a tragic past.

According to a press release, ‘Ghunghat’ follows the story of Bhuri, a spirit whose painful history transforms into a terrifying curse that begins to affect the lives of villagers. As supernatural events unfold, the narrative blends horror elements with comedy and emotional drama, creating a unique cinematic experience.

The film aims to combine traditional ghost-story themes with light-hearted entertainment, a genre that has witnessed growing popularity among audiences in recent years. By weaving together suspense, romance, fantasy and humour, the makers hope to deliver a family-friendly entertainer with broad appeal.

For Esha Deol, the project marks a fresh addition to her filmography as she explores a genre that allows her to step into a different narrative space. The actor, who has appeared in several commercial and dramatic films over the years, is expected to play a key role in driving the story forward.
