'Kakuda' also marks the Hindi directorial debut of filmmaker Aditya Sarpotdar, the man behind critically acclaimed Marathi films like - 'Classmates', 'Mauli' and 'Faster Fene'.
'Kakuda', with equal doses of comedy and spook, explores the legend of a strange curse in a village stuck in time. The eclectic trio are confronted with a challenging ghost who makes them question superstition, tradition and even love in a rollercoaster ride filled with fear and fun.
The film has been written by the talented duo Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg and was developed from a nascent stage by Salona Bains Joshi, the Associate Producer on the film.
Talking about the film, director Aditya Sarpotdar says, `I'm very excited to collaborate with Ronnie Screwvala. We are treating the film like nothing short of a big-scale commercial movie. The casting was just perfect and the story will have you both at the edge of your seat and in splits."
Says Sonakshi Sinha, `Considering the current situation, a fun comedy film is truly the need of the hour. I loved the script of 'Kakuda' from the moment I read it. It's the kind of movie I would enjoy watching as an audience.`
Adds Riteish Deshmukh, `I can't wait to jump right in and work on the film with Sonakshi and Saqib. I personally love the horror-comedy genre and 'Kakuda' is a great opportunity for me to explore the part of a ghostbuster.`
Says Saqib Saleem, `A great script, a gifted director, a supportive producer and supremely talented co-stars what more can one ask for in a film? 'Kakuda' is going to be a fun ride.`
Says Ronnie Screwvala, `With a clear focus on homegrown ideas and development, I am excited to announce our horror-comedy 'Kakuda'.. With a solid script, an extremely talented cast and driven director, we hope to push the boundary within the genre.`
