Emraan Hashmi To Star in Rooh, a Musical‑Horror Set for 2027 Theatrical Release

The announcement positions the project as a big‑screen, pan‑India musical‑horror that the makers say will use international creative and technical collaborations to boost scale.

Overview

  • The film was officially announced Tuesday and the makers released a 52‑second first‑look teaser that shows eerie forest imagery, a levitating lifeless body and a brief close-up of Emraan Hashmi’s face.
  • Rooh is directed and co-written by Mayank Sharma, with Vishal Kapoor as co‑writer and Vikram Khakhar and Sunny Khanna producing under Vicked Films Productions.
  • Makers describe Rooh as a musical‑horror that blends new‑age fear, emotional storytelling and a strong soundtrack meant to be a commercial hook.
  • The project is slated to reach theatres in 2027 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, and industry reports say the team is pursuing international creative and technical partnerships to raise its visual scale.
  • Details on the wider cast, shooting schedule, budget and exact release date have not been disclosed, and the announcement is being framed as Emraan Hashmi’s return to a genre he has long worked in.
