Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala announce Sajid Khan's horror film Hero Ki Horrorine on Friday the 13th, watch motion poster

Marking Friday the 13th, a day traditionally associated with superstition and bad luck, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala have announced the title of their upcoming horror film, Hero Ki Horrorine. Directed by Sajid Khan, the film is a Jai Ho Media Ventures production, presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd. and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in 2027. Along with the title announcement, the makers have also released the first-look poster, offering a glimpse into the film's horror-driven world. The poster features a frightening female figure with long hair, dressed in a blood-red sari. Her disfigured face, white eyes, sharp teeth and claw-like fingers add to the eerie appearance. Set against a dark, smoky backdrop, the visual introduces what appears to be the central horror figure of the film. While the title plays on the idea of a heroine, the first look hints at a rather unsettling character at the heart of the story.

Bhooth Bangla emerged as a box-office success, while The Vvaan also found an audience. On television, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 and Naagin 7 have added to Balaji's fiction slate. The production house has also been expanding its digital presence through its association with YouTube for exclusive premium shows. With Hero Ki Horrorine, Kapoor returns to the horror genre, which she has explored through projects combining supernatural elements with mainstream entertainment. Producer Amar Butala, known for backing films such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kesari and the critically acclaimed Mission Majnu, has joined hands with Kapoor for this theatrical project. With Sajid Khan at the helm, the film brings together the makers' experience in commercial cinema with the horror genre. The title announcement on Friday the 13th sets the tone for the film, which promises to introduce audiences to an unusual take on the idea of a heroine. Hero Ki Horrorine is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala under Jai Ho Media Ventures and presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd.
