Filmmaker Vishal Furia is gearing up for another horror film after directing projects like Chhorii and Maa. The director is currently working on an untitled horror project, which will star R Madhavan in the lead role. The film marks his latest attempt to explore the horror genre.Speaking about working with Madhavan, Furia stated to Varietyindia.com, “He was always my first and only choice. I’m stoked that he has come on board and has already started getting into the world of the film. He is the true OG horror star of the cult classic Indian horror film ‘13B,’ one of my favorite films of all time. His conviction, experience and understanding of serious horror are very rare, and I couldn’t think of anyone better for this film.”Talking about what audiences can expect from the film, Furia shared, “We want to create something audiences have never seen before in Indian horror – the kind of fear they will feel in their bones.”
