When asked why it’s being treated as a drama-comedy, Sinha replied, “All of them have a funny and great sense of humor.” The cast and credits are being finalised.
“Also, the name Ramsay has immediate recall, a lot of people know that they made films in the horror genre so the ‘what’ everyone knows but the ‘how’ and ‘why’ not many people do and hence it is important and interesting to tell that story,” Sinha concluded.
The Ramsays have made over 30 horror films, including titles like ‘Do Gaz Zameen ke Neeche,’ ‘Veeraana,’ ‘Purana Mandir,’ and ‘Zee Horror Show.’
