Ahan Shetty is gearing up for a major change in his filmography. After appearing in the action film Border 2, the actor is reportedly set to headline 1920: Cold Winter, the upcoming supernatural horror film directed by Vikram Bhatt.
The movie will mark Ahan's first major outing in the horror genre and will serve as the sixth instalment of the 1920 franchise. The project is currently in the scripting stage, with production expected to begin in November.
Ahan Shetty to Explore Horror for the First Time
Ahan Shetty began his Bollywood career with the romantic action film Tadap and later returned to the big screen with Border 2. With 1920: Cold Winter, the actor is looking to explore a completely different genre.
Reports suggest that Ahan has deliberately been choosing projects that allow him to experiment with different characters rather than being restricted to one particular type of role. The upcoming film will introduce him to the supernatural world for the first time.
Vikram Bhatt Returns to the 1920 Franchise
The film is being directed by Vikram Bhatt, who is closely associated with the 1920 horror franchise. The upcoming project is being produced by Anand Pandit and is currently under development.
The franchise began with 1920 in 2008 and was followed by 1920: Evil Returns, 1920: London, 1921 and 1920: Horrors of the Heart. 1920: Cold Winter will be the sixth chapter in the supernatural horror series.
Makers Searching for the Female Lead
While Ahan Shetty's casting has reportedly been finalised, the makers are still looking for the female lead. The production team is said to be interested in casting a known actress rather than introducing a newcomer.
The final casting details are yet to be officially announced.
Film to Be Shot in Scotland and Shimla
The upcoming 1920: Cold Winter is expected to have an atmospheric setting, with the makers planning to shoot portions of the film in Scotland and Shimla.
Before filming begins, Vikram Bhatt and producer Anand Pandit are reportedly expected to undertake a location recce in Scotland. The combination of the international location and Shimla's winter landscape could add to the film's supernatural atmosphere.
When Will 1920: Cold Winter Release?
The film is currently in the pre-production stage, so an exact release date has not been announced. Industry listings currently place 1920: Cold Winter for a 2027 release.
With Ahan Shetty making his horror debut and Vikram Bhatt returning to the franchise, the project is expected to be closely watched by fans of Bollywood's supernatural cinema.
