In a thrilling update for Bollywood enthusiasts, the much-anticipated comedy-horror film ‘Kakuda’, starring Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh, and Saqib Saleem, is set to premiere soon on the OTT platform ZEE5. The film, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, promises an engaging blend of humor and horror, a genre that has been growing in popularity in recent years.
The story of ‘Kakuda’ is set in the quaint village of Ratodi, nestled in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura district. Although Ratodi appears to be like any other typical village, it hides a dark secret. According to a statement, every house in this village features two doors that look strikingly similar—one of a normal size and the other significantly smaller. The central element of the film revolves around a bizarre ritual mandatory for all residents. Every Tuesday at precisely 7:15 PM, the smaller door must be opened. Failure to adhere to this rule summons the wrath of a supernatural entity known as Kakuda, who then punishes the man of the house. The film teases viewers with intriguing questions—who is Kakuda? Why does he target the men in the village? And most importantly, how will the villagers break free from this curse?
Director Aditya Sarpotdar shared his enthusiasm for the project, citing his fascination with the horror-comedy genre. “As a filmmaker and a fan of the horror-comedy genre, I find it incredibly fascinating to explore the delicate balance between fear and laughter. It’s a challenging task to make viewers simultaneously scared and amused, but with ‘Kakuda,’ I am confident that we have hit the right chord yet again,” said Sarpotdar.
The director further lauded the stellar cast for their seamless contribution to the narrative. “I am thrilled to have worked with an exceptionally talented cast, including Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha, Saqib Saleem, and Aasif Khan, who have supported the narrative brilliantly by adding humor and emotions to the story. Their spotless comic timing and the way they portray genuine emotions have made my job as a director much easier. Together, we have crafted a unique and engaging story that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating every twist and turn.”
