Sajid Khan to direct Ektaa Kapoor’s horror-comedy Hero Ki Horrorine
Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala have announced a new horror-comedy film, Hero Ki Horrorine, directed by Sajid Khan. The film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala, presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd and produced under the Jai Ho Media Ventures banner. It stars Yashvardhan Ahuja and Nitanshi Goel in lead roles, alongside an ensemble cast including Sunita Ahuja, Jamie Lever, Chunky Panday, Brijendra Kala and Simrat Kaur Randhawa.
The film blends horror, comedy and romance and is positioned as a theatrical entertainer. Bollywood Hungama reports that the film releases in cinemas on January 7, 2027. India TV News does not mention a release date. For Yashvardhan Ahuja, the film marks his debut as a leading actor in Hindi cinema.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the film announcement in a neutral, promotional tone with no critical or political framing. Bollywood Hungama provides more detail, including the release date and the full cast, while India TV News offers a shorter summary. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The key takeaway is that Sajid Khan, who faced a period of industry exile following sexual misconduct allegations, is returning to direct a major studio-backed theatrical release, a development that the sources do not comment on. Watch for audience and industry reaction as the January 2027 release approaches.
