Actor-producer Rana Daggubati has unveiled the first promotional asset of ‘Scary Picture’, an upcoming horror entertainer starring Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut in the lead role. Interestingly, the announcement was made on Friday the 13th, a date traditionally associated with horror, mystery and superstition, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the film’s first reveal.
What makes this project particularly interesting is the production backing. Veteran producer Suresh Babu is producing the film under the prestigious Suresh Productions banner, which has been associated with mainstream Telugu cinema and family entertainers for several decades. With ‘Scary Picture’, the production house is stepping into the horror genre, marking a distinctive addition to its filmography.
Speaking about the project and his vision for horror filmmaking in India, Rana Daggubati said that the objective behind ‘Scary Picture’ is to build a consistent platform offering production support and release opportunities to filmmakers passionate about the genre.
He further noted that India’s cultural diversity offers enormous storytelling possibilities in horror, with every region having its own fears, stories and unique ways of presenting them. The team is open to exploring different subgenres, including psychological horror, creature features, horror-comedy and social horror, along with fresh narratives from emerging filmmakers.
The film is directed by acclaimed Telugu filmmaker Ravi Babu, who makes his Hindi feature film directorial debut with this project. Known for his distinctive approach to filmmaking and his association with the horror genre, Ravi Babu has previously directed Telugu horror films such as ‘Anasuya’ and ‘Avunu’. His collaboration with Kangana Ranaut promises an edgy and experimental cinematic experience.
Beyond being another horror film, ‘Scary Picture’ also represents an important step towards Rana Daggubati’s ambition of building a dedicated ecosystem for horror filmmaking in India. Through Suresh Productions and Spirit Media, he aims to encourage filmmakers working in different subgenres by providing them with consistent production backing and opportunities to bring their stories to theatres.
With Kangana Ranaut in the lead, Ravi Babu at the helm and Suresh Productions backing the project, ‘Scary Picture’ has already generated curiosity among movie lovers. More details about the film are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
