Producer Ashi Dua has had quite a year with her Netflix film Lust Stories, which she co-produced with Ronnie Screwala‘s RSVP Pictures under her banner – Flying Unicorn Entertainment. The anthology went on to go to the International Emmy‘s, representing Indian content on a global stage. Now, she is all set to get us another interesting tale in the form of Ghost Stories. Directed by the star directors – Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee and Zoya Akhtar – who have not explored this genre before, this horror anthology is something looks super exciting!
Ask Ashi about what she is excited about for Ghost Stories and she says that the very fact that you have a group of directors like Karan and Zoya with their particular style of filmmaking bring us horror stories for the first time is exciting on its own.
She adds:
It is great seeing such intelligent and senior filmmakers taking up a challenge like this and we were sure they’ll do justice to it, and they did.
Talking about how this film challenges the norms of usual horror films in India. She says:
This movie is not about that era of horror where there was a lot of booing and ghosts. Ours is more in the supernatural thriller zone, which keeps you at the edge of your seat and has a shock value without the screaming and shouting. It is done in a very interesting way.
Well, we can’t wait to see the film on January 1st, 2020, and with such an interesting star cast consisting of Janhvi Kapoor, Vijay Varma, Sobhita Dhulipala, Mrunal Thakur, Avinash Tiwary among others, it’s going to be a big one!
