Actor to fight evil spirits in his upcoming horror comedy film The Bhootnii 

SSanjay Dutt will next appear in the horror comedy The Bhootnii, which will be released in theatres on April 18. The makers have announced the project by releasing a teaser of the film.

Directed by Sidhaant Sachdev, the film explores the horror-comedy genre but with an amalgamation of heart-pounding action. Apart from Sanjay Dutt, the film’s ensemble cast includes Mouni Roy, Palak Tiwari, Sunny Singh and Aasif Khan in pivotal roles.

In the announcement teaser Sanjay Dutt dons an action avatar as he holds two swords to fight the evil spirits. The movie is expected to blend romance with horror as actor Sunny Singh was seen pleading to The Bhootnii to return his love in the teaser.

At the beginning of the video, the Munna Bhai actor is heard reciting a few lines of the Bhagavad Gita, mentioning how a person’s soul is immortal. The movie is jointly produced by Deepak Mukut and Sanjay Dutt and co-produced by Hunar Mukut and Maanayata Dutt.

It is interesting to see Dutt entering the horror-comedy space, which in the last few years has picked up pace in India. Mouni Roy is shown as a powerful evil entity, something which we have seen her play before too in Bhramastra.
