Mumbai, November 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Director Haris Imtiyaz Khan has revealed that he wrote the characters of Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar in his upcoming horror film ‘Kaali Kheti’ with the two actors in mind.
Speaking to IANS alongside the actors during the film’s promotions in Mumbai, Khan said he felt fortunate that both agreed to be part of the project after hearing the script.
“When I envisioned the characters, I envisioned them and my characters. I got lucky that these guys liked it when I narrated the script, they immediately said yes to it”, the director said.
Set in a rural backdrop, ‘Kaali Kheti’ marks Jackie Shroff’s first full-fledged venture into horror, according to the film’s promotional description.
Asked about the story’s origins, Khan said the film began with a basic concept but declined to reveal its central idea, describing it as the soul of the story.
The film revolves around folklore-inspired horror, with a village coming under the shadow of an ominous force that turns the land sustaining its people into a source of fear.
Written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan and produced by Sana Khan under the banner of BlackCanvas Studio, ‘Kaali Kheti’ is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 20, 2026.
