After Bombay Talkies and Lust Stories, acclaimed filmmakers Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar, and Anurag Kashyap have returned for the third time with Ghost Stories .
The spine-chilling teaser of the latest anthology has just been dropped. The film stars Avinash Tewar y, Gulshan Devaiah, Janhvi Kapoor , Kusha Kapila, Mrunal Thakur, Sobhita Dhulipala , Surekha Sikri, Sukant Goel, and Vijay Verma in pivotal roles.
With jump-scares aplenty, the 30-second-long teaser gives glimpses into the four different stories in the movie. It begins with an ominous shot of crows cawing on top of a barren tree. The scene quickly shifts to a series of montage shots, where Sobhita is seen feeding a doll, and a mortified Janhvi is seen nervously climbing up a flight of stairs.
According to a statement, the stories will be thematically connected to each other and culminate in a hair-raising end.
