The horror-comedy is set to hit cinema halls on May 15th this year.
The film features a stellar ensemble cast with icons like Akshay Kumar, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Jisshu Sengupta, Asrani, and Wamiqa Gabbi. Parts of the film have also been shot across Rajasthan, Jaipur, and Hyderabad, adding rich visual texture to the narrative.
The makers had released the first poster last year that showed Akshay Kumar’s character sitting on the gate of a bungalow with a lantern in his hand. A second character poster showed him with a grin on his face as he licks milk from a bowl, and we see a black cat on his shoulders.
Talking about the partnership of Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar, the duo have delivered several remarkable films such as Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Bhagam Bhag, Garam Masala and Hera Pheri.

The film is co-produced by Faara Sheikh and Vedant Baali. The story is written by Akash A Kaushik, and the screenplay is by Rohan Shankar, Abilash Nair and Priyadarshan.
