This year, horror films have proven to be a significant trend in Bollywood, with several notable successes. Ajay Devgn’s Shaitaan and the unexpected hit Munjya have set high standards, and now Stree 2 is making headlines with its impressive box office performance, approaching the 500-crore mark. Riding this wave of success, Rashmika Mandanna is set to dive into the horror genre with her upcoming film, Vampired of Vijayanagara.

The film is anticipated to be produced on a large scale, featuring Rashmika in a multi-faceted role alongside lead actor Ayushmann Khurrana. Regular shooting for the film is slated to begin in October.
