Riding
high
on
the
success
of
her
last
release,
Dream
Girl,
Nushrat
Bharucha
is
now
all
set
to
step
into
the
horror
genre.
The
actress
has
bagged
the
lead
role
in
the
Hindi
remake
of
the
hit
Marathi
horror
film,
Lapachhapi.
Titled
Chori,
Nushrat's
film
will
be
directed
by
Vishal
Furia,
who
helmed
the
original
film
as
well.
Speaking
about
Chori,
a
Hindustan
Times
report
quoted
Nushrat
as
saying,
"I
am
extremely
excited
to
be
a
part
of
Chhori.
This
genre
excites
me
and
the
fact
that
the
story
is
anchored
in
practices
of
our
society,
makes
it
relatable
and
impactful.
I
have
wanted
to
work
with
Vishal
Furia
and
I
am
so
glad
we've
finally
collaborated
on
Chhori,
which
is
so
close
to
his
heart."
Director
Vishal
Furia
said
in
an
official
statement,
"Getting
a
chance
to
revisit
the
film
has
been
an
amazing
experience.
I
want
to
take
the
remake
a
few
steps
further
and
make
a
much
more
impactful,
scary
and
thrilling
film
-
more
so
because
I
am
grateful
for
all
the
love
I
still
receive
for
Lapachhapi.
Partnering
with
Vikram
(Malhotra)
and
his
team
along
with
Jack
Davis
has
been
a
wonderful
process
and
I
am
confident
that
all
of
us
can
take
this
film
to
even
bigger
heights.
Nushrat
is
a
very
strong
and
promising
actor
who
I
believe
is
well
equipped
to
essay
a
strong
role
all
by
herself.
I
have
wanted
to
collaborate
with
her
for
a
while
now
and
I
am
glad
that
we
finally
have
a
film
together."
Chori
is
currently
in
the
scripting
stage,
and
is
being
written
by
Vishal
Kapoor,
who
also
penned
the
original
film.
Speaking
about
Lapachhapi,
the
2016
Marathi
horror
film
stars
Pooja
Sawant
as
the
main
lead.
The
film
revolves
around
a
couple
who
are
forced
by
circumstances
to
stay
in
a
small
house
in
the
middle
of
a
large
sugarcane
field.
Things
take
a
scary
turn
when
the
wife,
who
is
eight
months
pregnant,
discovers
that
there
are
unseen
forces
in
those
fields,
who
are
after
her
unborn
baby.
Coming
back
to
Chori,
it
will
be
interesting
to
watch
Nushrat
Bharucha
in
a
new
avatar
in
her
first
horror
film!
