Ajay Devgn Returns to the Dark Side After 21 Years Set to Play Grey, Supernatural Character in Rohit Jugraj's Horror Film
Ajay Devgn Horror Film Update: Ajay Devgn is set to revisit one of the darker shades of his screen persona. Nearly 21 years after Kaal (2005), the actor is reportedly set to play a morally ambiguous, supernatural character in filmmaker Rohit Jugraj's upcoming horror film, currently being referred to as Griha Pravesh.
The project promises to take Devgn into unfamiliar territory, with reports suggesting he'll portray a brooding character with supernatural powers. The film is expected to go on floors in September, shooting first in Mumbai before moving to the UK.
Ajay Devgn Set to Turn Dark Again
Devgn has flirted with horror and the supernatural throughout his career from Bhoot and Kaal to more recently Shaitaan. But this upcoming collaboration with Rohit Jugraj feels different, with the actor reportedly stepping into a grey, morally complex character his first such role since Kaal.
That's more than two decades since Devgn last inhabited this kind of dark, ambiguous territory on screen, making Griha Pravesh a genuine full-circle moment.
The character is described as intense, mysterious and supernatural, with a distinct look reportedly being designed specifically around the role.
Griha Pravesh: What We Know So Far
The film is being directed by Rohit Jugraj, who previously assisted Ram Gopal Varma on Bhoot and has worked in the horror space before. It's being developed as a high-concept horror film.
Griha Pravesh is the current working title being reported, though earlier buzz had also floated Vaastu Shastra as a possible name. The latest update indicates the shoot schedule has shifted production is now expected to begin in September in Mumbai, before the unit moves to the United Kingdom.
Ajay Devgn and Rohit Jugraj Reunite for Horror
There's a nice full-circle element to this pairing. Rohit Jugraj worked as an assistant director on Bhoot (2003) the same film Devgn starred in as the lead. Now, more than two decades later, the two are reuniting for a new supernatural story, this time with Jugraj in the director's chair and Devgn at the centre of the narrative.
The film is also expected to carry a strong international setting, with the UK forming a key part of the production.
From Kaal to Griha Pravesh: Ajay Devgn's Dark Comeback
Devgn's return to a grey horror character is arguably the biggest draw of this project. In Kaal, he embraced a mysterious, sinister persona and Griha Pravesh appears to push that idea further into supernatural territory, with reports suggesting his character will possess actual supernatural abilities.
That makes this a particularly exciting prospect for audiences who've enjoyed Devgn's darker screen outings and he's proven recently with Shaitaan (a major theatrical success) that he still commands the supernatural genre effortlessly.

With Griha Pravesh now targeting a September start Mumbai first, UK second Devgn's 2026 slate is shaping up to be one of his busiest in years.
