Friday The 13th Gets Its Horror Queen: Ektaa Kapoor Unveils Sajid Khan’s Hero Ki Horrorine

Producer Ektaa R Kapoor picked the spookiest date on the calendar to announce her next horror film. Marking Friday the 13th, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala unveiled the title of their upcoming horror film Hero Ki Horrorine, directed by Sajid Khan, along with a chilling first-look motion poster. The film is a Jai Ho Media Ventures production, presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd. and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala. It is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in 2027. The poster introduces a frightening female figure with long hair, dressed in a blood-red sari, with a disfigured face, white eyes, sharp teeth and claw-like fingers, set against a dark, smoky backdrop. Sharing the motion poster, Ektaa wrote, “Heroine dil le jaati hai… Horrorine dil khaa jaati hai.” According to reports, the film stars Govinda’s son Yashvardhan Ahuja in the lead role, with Govinda’s wife Sunita Ahuja in a prominent role. The cast also includes Nitanshi Goel, Jamie Lever, Chunky Pandey, Brijendra Kala and Simrat Kaur Randhawa. Story details are being kept tightly under wraps, with the makers offering only a glimpse of the supernatural universe the film inhabits. The announcement marks Ektaa’s return to horror and reunites her with Sajid Khan and Amar Butala, whose production credits include Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kesari and Mission Majnu. Sajid Khan is best known for Heyy Babyy and the first two Housefull films. With the title reveal landing on Friday the 13th itself, the makers have set the tone for a film that promises an unusual take on the very idea of a heroine.
