Kaali Kheti Trailer Is Out: Jackie Shroff And Sharad Kelkar Lead A Chilling Psychological Rural Horror

The trailer of Kaali Kheti is out, and it promises a horror film rooted in the soil of rural India. Headlined by Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar, the psychological horror film unveiled its trailer on Thursday, November 12, ahead of its theatrical release on November 20, 2026.

Written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan and produced by Sana Khan under BlackCanvas Studio, Kaali Kheti explores a village where agriculture appears connected to a mysterious and possibly supernatural force. The trailer offers glimpses of both lead actors in intriguing avatars without revealing too much about the secrets surrounding the village, keeping the nature of the threat deliberately ambiguous. Also featuring Neha Sargam and Spandan Sameer Javalagi, the film draws on local folklore, beliefs and the relationship between communities and the land around them.

The trailer launch in Mumbai turned into a show of its own. Jackie Shroff was in his element, raising laughs with his trademark ‘Bhidu’ style, but the surprise of the afternoon was Sharad Kelkar, who delivered a pitch-perfect imitation of his co-star. In Jackie’s style, Kelkar said, ‘Bhidu, bada maza aaya tumhaare saath kaam karke, bhidu!’ and joked that shooting with Jackie for four days makes you start talking like him.

Kelkar, who dubbed for Yash as Ravana in Ramayana, also had the room in splits when a journalist praised his voice work and he quipped, ‘Teeno lokon mein sirf Kelkar raaj hoga!’ Jackie, meanwhile, refused to comment on the episode around Tiger Shroff’s firing from a film, and revealed that after watching the 1962 horror film Tower House as a youngster, he ran home and hugged his mother, fearing somebody was behind him. Kaali Kheti arrives in cinemas on November 20.
