Hyderabad: Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer Roohi takes the horror-comedy legacy of Maddock Films a step further. The trailer of debutant director Hardik Mehta's film is out and it promises a good blend of spine-chilling scares and quirky comedy.
The just-released trailer suggests that the film revolves around a singing ghost who puts grooms to sleep so it can possess their brides. Janhvi, who plays Roohi in the film is apparently possessed by a spirit that is yearning for marriage. The film is one of the first Bollywood projects to arrive in theatres after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting allowed cinema halls across the country to operate at full capacity from February 1 with adherence to COVID-19 safety protocols.

Presented by Jio Studios & Maddock Films, Roohi also stars Varun Sharma. Hardik Mehta has directed the film from a script penned by Fukrey helmer Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, who also serves as a co-producer on the movie.
Producer Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films said Roohi takes the genre of horror-comedy a notch above the banner's 2018 hit Stree, which also featured Rao.
Roohi will hit big screens on March 11. The film was scheduled to be released last year but was postponed due to the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown.
