Kriti Sanon is stepping into the unknown — literally. The actress has reportedly locked onto her next project: a full-fledged horror film backed by Maddock Films, marking their ninth collaboration and her second solo lead with the production house after Mimi. This isn’t another supernatural romance or a horror-comedy hybrid.

According to sources close to the development, it’s an out-and-out horror story, a genre Maddock Films has never attempted in its pure form before. The makers are aiming for a grand-scale production, with no jokes, no tonal shifts, just traditional horror. It’s a clear departure from the studio’s established formula, which has leaned heavily on genre blends in films like Bhediya and Crew.

Sanon, who recently received praise for her performances in Cocktail 2 and Tere Ishk Mein, is said to have been keen to experiment across genres. Now, she’s taking on a role that demands something new. Something untested. Her past work with Maddock spans comedy (Luka Chuppi), drama (Raabta), and supernatural elements (Bhediya, Crew).

But this time, she’s not playing a ghost or a love-struck woman caught in a twist. She’s leading a film where fear is the only plot device. The source described the project as “an exciting one to look forward to,” though details remain under wraps: no title, no director, no release date.

The film hasn’t been officially announced. Still, the momentum is building. For fans of Sanon’s range, this marks a significant pivot, one that could redefine her trajectory. Whether it lands depends on what lies beneath the silence.

But one thing’s certain: the actress is no longer playing safe. And Maddock Films, for the first time, is betting on pure terror.
