Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar are set to star in a new rural horror film titled Kaali Kheti, which will be released in theaters on October 23, 2026. The release date was revealed alongside the film’s first poster, providing a sneak peek into the chilling atmosphere crafted by director Haris Imtiyaz Khan.
This film not only features Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar but also showcases Neha Sargam in key roles. Set in a rural environment, Kaali Kheti intertwines themes of horror, family dynamics, and hidden secrets. The newly released poster hints at an unsettling vibe while keeping the film’s core mystery under wraps, encouraging viewers to ponder what lies ahead in this intriguing tale.
The film’s director, Haris Imtiyaz Khan, shared his vision for Kaali Kheti, explaining that he wanted to explore agriculture through a horror lens. He remarked on the fresh and exciting approach, saying, “This film acts as a mirror to society, reflecting it in a scary yet familiar world. Sometimes, it may seem nonsensical, but the eeriness feels oddly relatable. That, perhaps, is the essence of horror.”
The rural backdrop plays a crucial role in the story, focusing on family, tradition, and unresolved issues. Rather than revealing too much about the film’s horror aspects right away, the creators have opted to keep the suspense alive, building curiosity about the world within Kaali Kheti.
Produced by Sana Khan under BlackCanvas Studio, the film boasts a strong ensemble cast, including Neha Sargam, Virendra Saxena, and Shaji Choudhary. With its haunting poster now released, Kaali Kheti is set to captivate audiences when it hits cinemas on October 23, 2026, bringing its unique blend of rural horror to the big screen later this year.
