Varun Dhawan is set to star in Yash Raj Films’ first horror movie, with a worldwide theatrical release planned for March 31, 2028. Multiple outlets say Abhay Pannu, known for Rocket Boys, will direct his feature debut, and the project is being developed within YRF’s production setup.
The reports position the film as Dhawan’s move into the horror genre. Some coverage also references his prior film work, including a recent role associated with branching into different tones. NDTV highlights YRF’s “first ever” horror framing, while other reporting emphasizes specific production leadership and Dhawan’s relationship to the YRF banner. Overall, the different write-ups largely agree on the core release date, the horror premise, and who is directing.
