Ayushmann Khurrana has started filming for YRF's thriller

In December 2024, Yash Raj Films and Posham Pa Pictures unveiled a multi-film collaboration aimed at bringing fresh, distinctive stories to audiences.

Now, Variety India has reported that their first project is already in production with Ayushmann Khurrana leading the cast.

The film is a gritty edge-of-the-seat thriller, and Khurrana started shooting for it quietly in the first week of April in Kerala.

'Disruptive genre-bending thriller': What we know so far

The film is directed by Sameer Saxena, who previously helmed the critically acclaimed Netflix series Kaala Paani.

This project will mark his directorial debut in theatrical feature films.

The makers are tight-lipped about the plot to maintain suspense, but sources described it as a "disruptive genre-bending thriller," with Khurrana playing "a common man thrust into a nightmarish situation."

The supporting cast list is not out yet.

YRF, Posham Pa's previous projects

The thriller will be Posham Pa Pictures's first venture into theatrical storytelling after their success with shows like Kaala Paani, Maamla Legal Hai, and Home Shanti.

The company is also gearing up for a Prime Video series, Adarsh Baal Bidyalaya, starring Kay Kay Menon and Naveen Kasturia.

Khurrana's upcoming films this year

This film marks Khurrana's third collaboration with YRF after Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015) and Meri Pyaari Bindu (2017).

It also sees him exploring the thriller genre after a series of comedies in recent years.

The actor has three movies lined up for release this year, starting with Pati Patni Aur Woh Do on May 15.

He will also be seen in Dharma Productions's Udta Teer on September 11 and Sooraj Barjatya's Yeh Prem Mol Liya on November 27, 2026.
