Hero Ki Horrorine first look reveals a blood-soaked supernatural nightmare

Friday the 13th has brought a new horror film announcement. Producers Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala have unveiled the title and first-look poster of Hero Ki Horrorine, directed by Sajid Khan. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in 2027.

The poster introduces a frightening female figure and offers a glimpse of the film's supernatural world, while its plot remains under wraps. The project marks Ektaa R Kapoor's return to horror and brings her together with Butala, whose production credits include Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kesari and Mission Majnu.

The poster gives the film's title an eerie twist. It shows a long-haired figure wearing a blood-red sari, with a mutilated face, piercing white eyes, sharp teeth and claw-like fingers. Surrounded by smoke and darkness, the mysterious character is far removed from the conventional image of a heroine.

Although the makers have not revealed details about the story, the first-look poster establishes the tone of the horror entertainer. View this post on Instagram A post shared by EktaaRkapoor (@ektarkapoor)

Hero Ki Horrorine marks Ektaa R Kapoor's return to the horror genre. The producer has backed projects across films, television and digital platforms. Her recent theatrical releases include Bhooth Bangla and The Vvaan.

India Today gave The Vvaan a rating of two stars. A part of the review read, "The problem isn't that the film becomes bigger. It is that it becomes less interesting. Whenever the mystery starts taking shape, the screenplay feels compelled to explain it. Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, the more Vvaan tells us about its mythology, the less mysterious the forest becomes. By the time Rishi and Deepak are facing off in a rather bizarre mid-air sequence, the film has travelled a considerable distance from the unsettling story it seemed to promise at the beginning."

On television, Balaji Telefilms continues to expand its fiction slate with shows such as Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 and Naagin 7. The company has also partnered with YouTube for premium shows.

Amar Butala has joined Ektaa R Kapoor for Hero Ki Horrorine. He is known for producing films such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kesari and Mission Majnu. Sajid Khan will direct the film, bringing his commercial cinema experience to the horror entertainer.More about the film
