A glimpse of it on screen shows that it is titled Scary Picture. The film’s title suggests it will be made in Hindi. Kangana reposted a video from an Instagram page in which the actor-filmmaker reveals the film While Rana’s production house has yet to make an official announcement. It’s by a director called Ravi Babu, who is a friend of mine. He’s made multiple horror films in Telugu. And this is his first Hindi feature. It went to no Hindi press; this is the first time we’re putting the intimation up. He is known for his unconventional, genre-bending, and experimental filmmaking style, which doesn’t always deliver box-office results but stands out for its offbeat quality. Kangana, who is currently also busy as the MP of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, has been juggling both politics and films. She last starred in Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata this year, which she also produced. It is currently streaming on Zee5. Interestingly, Kangana will reportedly star in another horror film too. Her Hollywood debut, Blessed Be The Evil.
Rana spoke about the film at HorrorCon and said, “So, it’s a horror film.
Throughout his career, Ravi has helmed everything from coming-of-age stories to thrillers, with most films featuring a touch of slapstick comedy. Given that it’s rare for the filmmaker-actor to team up with known faces, it remains to be seen what he has in store with Scary Picture.
He last starred in Coffee with a Killer last year and directed Razor this year.
