A few weeks after the release of the movie Haunted – Echoes Of The Past, which did surprisingly well at the box office, director Vikram Bhatt and producer Anand Pandit announced their collaboration for 1920: Cold Winter. In July 2026, news broke that Ahan Shetty would be starring in this horror film. Recently, we have learned some exciting information about the project.
Anya Singh, known for her role in *The Ba**ds Of Bollywood, will join the film as the female lead. According to a source, the filmmakers were impressed with her talent and presence on screen, believing she is a perfect fit for the role. Anya is thrilled as this will be her first experience in a horror film in Bollywood.
Interestingly, Ahan Shetty and Anya Singh previously appeared together in the hit war movie Border 2, where Ahan played Lt Cdr Mahendra Singh Rawat and Anya took on the role of Sudha Rawat. This film will mark their second collaboration on screen.
1920: Cold Winter is set to start filming in November this year and will be the sixth installment in the 1920 series. The franchise began in 2008 with the original 1920, directed by Vikram Bhatt and featuring Adah Sharma and Rajniesh Duggal. While the first film performed moderately at the box office, its sequel, 1920: Evil Returns (2012), was a semi-hit with Aftab Shivdasani and Tia Bajpai in lead roles. The third film, 1920 London (2016), directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, included Sharman Joshi and Meera Chopra.
In 2018, Vikram Bhatt created 1921, which he produced, wrote, and directed, featuring Zareen Khan and Karan Kundrra. Although 1920 London did not do well, 1921 achieved average success.
The most recent addition to the series, 1920: Horrors Of The Heart (2023), also directed by Vikram Bhatt, marked his first collaboration with producer Anand Pandit. Starring Avika Gor and Danish Pandor, this horror movie performed decently at the box office.
