Actor Shah Rukh Khan has found a new way to promote his upcoming production 'Betaal', and we are extremely excited. The Badshah of Bollywood asked his fans to make short horror films inside their homes and send them over to him.
In a note, he said, “Who doesn't enjoy a good horror film or series? I know that I do! Since we all have a bit of time on our hands and have binged a lot of shows and films, how about we channel the inner filmmaking ghost in us to make a scary indoor film with an element of horror in it.”
He added, “Any camera that you can shoot with. A prop readily available at home that can be used spookily – And you. (You can choose to make it with multiple people as well, as long as the rules of social distancing are followed). The selected three will be getting on a video call with me and these four awesome people!” But wait! The best part is yet to come! Shah added that he will make a film as well.
“I will be sending in my film as well...” he said. 'Betaal' is set for a May 24 release on Netflix. Co-directed by Patrick Graham and Nikhil Mahajan, the show is co-written by Suhani Kanwar. Set in a remote village, the show narrates the story of a team on a mission to help the villagers and fight the horrific enemy. It started when they stumble upon the curse of Betaal mountain, which unleashes an army of zombies on them as well as the villagers.
