Here's
a
new
update
on
Rajkummar
Rao-Janhvi
Kapoor's
Roohi
Afzana.
The
horror
comedy
has
been
renamed
to
Roohi,
and
the
makers
have
even
announced
the
release
date
of
this
much-anticipated
film.
The
film
which
also
stars
Varun
Sharma
in
a
pivotal
role,
is
now
scheduled
to
hit
the
theatrical
screens
on
March
11,
2021.
Janhvi
Kapoor
took
to
her
Instagram
page
to
share
a
snippet
announcing
the
release
date
of
Roohi.
In
the
video,
we
see
a
backdrop
of
scary
woods.
Janhvi
as
a
spooky
bride,
has
her
face
covered
with
a
veil
with
Rajkummar
Rao
and
Varun
Sharma
donning
groom
attires.
The
Dhadak
actress
captioned
the
video
as,
"Iss
Bhootiya
Shaadi
mein
aapka
swagat
hai!
#MagicOfCinemaReturns;
movie
releases
11th
March."
Producer
Dinesh
Vijan
of
Maddock
Films
said
in
a
statement,
"At
Maddock,
we
are
all
storytellers
driven
by
our
love
for
cinema
in
all
its
vibrant
forms.
While
Stree
was
a
genre
bending
tale
that
gave
audiences
something
never
seen
before,
Roohi
takes
this
vision
a
step
further
by
offering
the
same
brand
of
spine
chilling
scares
and
quirky
comedy.
With
a
partner
like
Jio
Studios
that
shares
our
passion
for
the
eponymous
"bada
parda",
we
hope
Roohi
rekindles
the
audience's
long
standing
romance
with
the
silver
screen.
It
is
a
film
tailor
made
to
be
viewed
at
your
nearest
theatre."
Rajkummar
Rao
had
earlier
shared
his
experience
of
working
with
Janhvi
and
said,
"Janhvi
is
phenomenal.
She
is
such
a
sincere
and
hardworking
actor.
I
think
what
we
have
seen
her
in
Dhadak
is
just
a
hint
of
her
talent,
she
is
way
more
talented
than
that."
Directed
by
Hardik
Mehta,
Roohi,
on
the
lines
of
the
horror
comedy
Stree,
is
based
on
another
folk
legend.
The
film
set
in
Moradabad,
UP,
revolves
around
a
'chudail'
who
possesses
the
bride
on
the
wedding
night
if
her
groom
goes
off
to
sleep.
