From the directors of Munjya, comes another gripping tale of horror and comedy. Zee Cinema is excited to announce the World Television Premiere of 'Kakuda' starring Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem which is a folklore story set to air on Saturday, October 5th at 8 PM. This horror comedy promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats with its storyline, stellar performances, and stunning visuals.

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Kakuda is a genre-defying film that combines elements of comedy, drama, and horror. Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha, and Saqib Saleem bring a refreshing energy, each embodying the kind of relatable characters that resonate deeply with audiences. Riteish's effortless comic timing, Sonakshi's commanding screen presence, and Saqib's dynamic charm create a trio that is as entertaining as it is believable. Horror comedies are a rising genre in India, particularly in home-town settings where folklore and local legends come to life. Kakuda taps into this rich cultural vein, merging the eerie with everyday humor, and offering a light-hearted, yet thrilling escape.

Sonakshi Sinha shared her excitement, stating, 'Kakuda is unlike anything I've done before. I remember Aditya saying, let me show you what I've put together and how it's looking and when I saw it, I was blown away! What's better than one Sona? Two! It was such a delightful surprise. The whole experience was incredibly fun and refreshing for me, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. I can't wait for everyone to experience this thrilling ride!'

Saqib Saleem remarked, "I had never ventured into horror comedy before, and getting to portray a lovable simpleton from the village of Ratori was an absolute blast! It felt refreshing to step away from my usual roles as the charming boy next door or the fitness fanatic. This film offered me a chance to embrace a completely different character and explore uncharted territory. It's the perfect genre for my transition, and I couldn't be more excited!"

In a quaint town of Rathodi, a mysterious ghost haunts the men, cursing them with a hunchback and dooming them to die within 13 days, if they fail to leave a small door open in their homes every Tuesday at 7:15 PM. Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saqib Saleem must confront a vengeful ghost that challenges their beliefs about superstition, tradition, and love. Will they break the curse and reclaim their lives, or will they be forever trapped in a haunting nightmare?

Tune in to Zee Cinema on Saturday, October 5th at 8 PM for the world television premiere of Kakuda. Don't miss it!
