Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Hero Ki Horrorine’ set for Sajid Khan’s directorial return
Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala have teamed up for ‘Hero Ki Horrorine’, a new horror‑comedy to be directed by Sajid Khan. The project is in active development, with scripting underway and the makers positioning it as a commercial, quirky entertainer built around a female‑centric twist.
Sajid Khan’s return to direction marks the film’s key creative move, with the producers aiming for a mainstream theatrical release. Casting has not yet been announced, though industry sources say the team is in discussions with leading actors for the principal roles. Pre‑production is expected to advance later this year, ahead of a planned 2027 shoot.
