The horror genre is enjoying massive popularity among movie lovers, and filmmakers are leaving no stone unturned to cash in on the trend. From international hits to successful Indian horror films, audiences are showing a growing interest in stories that deliver chills, suspense, and thrilling experiences on the big screen. Riding on this wave, actress Jacqueline Fernandez is now set to explore the horror genre for the very first time with an exciting new project.
According to sources close to the development, Jacqueline had been searching for the right horror script for quite some time. She was keen to take on a role that would allow her to explore a different side of her acting abilities. Her search has finally come to an end as she has reportedly signed an upcoming horror film that promises much more than just scares. The project is said to combine horror, emotional storytelling, and music, creating a complete entertainment package designed for a theatrical audience.
The film’s title, director, and several key details are still being kept secret. However, sources reveal that two male actors have already been finalized to star alongside Jacqueline. The makers are expected to announce the project officially in the coming weeks, which has already sparked curiosity among fans eager to learn more about the mysterious venture.
The upcoming horror drama will be produced by Khyati Madaan’s Not Out Entertainment and is reportedly being mounted on a large scale.
Interestingly, the team has already completed the shooting of a teaser and a song for the film. Meanwhile, the cast is currently participating in workshops as part of the preparation process. Principal photography is expected to begin soon, with filming likely to start by the end of this month.
Although Jacqueline has previously appeared in Bhooth Police, that film was a horror comedy with a lighter and more humorous approach. This new project is expected to be her first full-fledged horror film, making it a significant addition to her career.
On the professional front, Jacqueline was recently seen in Housefull 5. She is also preparing for the release of Welcome To The Jungle, which is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on June 26, 2026. With a horror film now added to her lineup, fans are excited to see the actress take on a completely new challenge.
