Vicky Kaushal, who featured in Junglee Pictures and Dharam Productions’ Raazi, has bagged another Karan Johar project, this one a high-concept horror film that centres around a ship. The yet-untitled film marks the directorial debut of Shashank Khaitan’s assistant director, Bhanu Pratap Singh.

“Vicky has been quietly shooting for the film in Mumbai for over a month now and a major chunk is already complete. While it features him in the lead, Bhumi (Pednekar) has an extended cameo for which she will shoot in the next few days,” informed a source, adding that it will be a 15-day schedule for Bhumi and Vicky. “Unlike some quintessential horror films that are set in haunted houses, this one revolves around a ship that lies static at a beach,” informed the source. Shooting for the film will be wrapped up by next month, and the makers are looking to release it in the second half of the year.

According to the source, unlike most films in the genre, this one is not VFX=heavy as a major chunk of the horror sequences will be created with the help of background music and innovative cinematography. “It is made on a really tight budget, and even the post production is not expected to take a lot of time,” the source concluded.
