Mumbai, April 16 (IANS) After the spine-chilling success of “1920: Horrors of the Heart,” the powerhouse trio of Mahesh Bhatt, Anand Pandit, and Vikram Bhatt is back with another horror spectacle—“Haunted“ 3D: Ghosts of the Past.”

The much-anticipated film is set to hit cinemas on September 26, 2025. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his social media handles to share the first look of the film.

Presented by Mahesh Bhatt and Anand Pandit and helmed by Vikram, the film promises to deliver a gripping supernatural experience. “Haunted 3D” stars Mahaakshay Chakraborty and Chetna Pandey in pivotal roles.

This upcoming horror mystery will be produced by Anand Pandit, Rakesh Juneja, and Shwetambari Bhatt.
