For Roohi Afza, Hardik Mehta will direct from a script by Gautam Mehra and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, who will also serve as co-producer.

It was previously reported that set in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, Roohi Afza will narrate the story of a few town dwellers and their encounters with a witch or chudail. Like Stree, the upcoming feature is also based on a folk tale, according to which every time a wedding happens in the town, the women come together to keep the groom awake through the night, so that the chudail is unable to put him to sleep with a lullaby. It is believed that if the groom sleeps off, then the newly-married couple would have to bear the wrath of the chudail all their life.

While in Angrezi Medium, Khan’s character is called Mr Champakji. Radhika Madan plays Irrfan’s daughter in the film, and Kareena plays the role of a London cop .
