First Poster Out for Kheti: Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar to Lead Atmospheric Rural Horror Film
Jackie Shroff, Sharad Kelkar, and Neha Sargam are locked in to star in Kheti, an upcoming rural horror film centered on themes of family legacy, inherited fear, and the unsettling cost of confronting a buried past. The project brings together three of Hindi cinema’s most compelling performers for a story that aims to push the psychological boundaries of the genre.
The makers have unveiled the first official poster for the film, offering a carefully restrained glimpse into its eerie world and setting a tone of deep, atmospheric dread.
Grounded Horror in the Heartland
Set against the vast and unforgiving landscape of rural India, Kheti aims to steer clear of conventional jump-scares and genre tropes. Instead, the narrative roots its terror in the land itself and the people shaped by it.
- The Creative Team: The film is written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan and produced by Sana Khan under the banner of BlackCanvas Studio.
- The Ensemble Cast: Alongside the lead trio, the project features strong supporting performances from seasoned actors Virendra Saxena and Shaji Choudhary.
A Rare Sub-Genre in Hindi Cinema
Mainstream Hindi cinema rarely explores the sub-genre of rural horror, making Kheti one of the more intriguing genre offerings of the year. By building its premise on psychological unease, generational secrets, and a hauntingly familiar setting, the film looks poised to carve out a distinct space for itself.
Rather than giving away the central mystery, the newly released poster relies on minimalist, haunting imagery to let the film’s tense atmosphere speak for itself.
Further details regarding Kheti, including its official trailer, release platform, and theatrical date, are expected to be announced by the production house soon.
