Ajay Devgn horror film Griha Pravesh: Director and London shoot details
Ajay Devgn reunites with Bhoot assistant Rohit Jugraj for high-concept horror Griha Pravesh shooting in London this July
Ajay Devgn is returning to the spine-chilling horror genre with a twist that goes far beyond Indian shores. Discover the secret London connection!
It is Tuesday in Mumbai, and the corridors of the film industry are buzzing with a specific kind of chilling excitement.
While everyone is talking about the title of Ajay Devgn’s next horror flick, the real story is hidden in the foggy streets of London. The superstar is not just looking for another hit; he is planning a massive atmospheric shift in how we watch Indian horror.
The film, which many are calling Griha Pravesh, is ready to take the actor back to his roots while pushing him into a global setting.
The London Fog and High-Concept Chills
This isn’t your typical haunted house story where doors creak in a village mansion. The makers have decided to move the entire production to the United Kingdom for a reason. They want to capture a specific, gloomy, and immersive world that only the London landscape can provide. It is a bold move.
Most Indian horror stays within the familiar territory of hilly stations or old bungalows, but this one is going for a grand cinematic scale.
The script is being developed as a high-concept piece. This means we should expect less of the usual “ghost in a white saree” and more of the psychological dread that keeps you up at night. The focus here is on world-building. You can almost feel the cold wind of the Thames in the pre-production notes.
As per a report by Bollywood Hungama, the team is currently choosing between Griha Pravesh and Vaastu Shastra as the final title, though the former has the upper hand right now. The source mentions that a final call will be taken very soon before the official announcement hits our screens.
The Return of the Bhoot Connection
What makes this project truly special is the man behind the camera. Rohit Jugraj is taking the director’s chair. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he has been part of the horror legacy for a long time.
Rohit actually started his journey by assisting Ram Gopal Varma on the legendary film Bhoot. That movie changed the face of Indian horror in 2003, and now, decades later, Rohit is reuniting with Ajay Devgn to create something even more intense.
Does the audience actually want “atmospheric” horror, or are they just looking for the next Shaitaan-style jump-scare fest?
There is a growing fatigue with the same old possession tropes. By choosing a director who knows the RGV school of filmmaking but has also mastered commercial cinema in the Punjabi industry, Ajay is taking a calculated risk. It is a question of whether the Indian mass audience is ready for a slow-burning horror experience set in the heart of London.
The timeline for this project is tight. Ajay is currently busy in Mumbai, wrapping up his work on Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 5.
Once that wrap-up party ends, he will jump straight into this supernatural world. The shooting is scheduled to start in July 2026. It will be a start-to-finish schedule, meaning the team will stay in the UK until the very last shot is canned.
Producer Kumar Mangat Pathak is sparing no expense to ensure the technical departments are top-notch. They are currently locking in the technical crew and looking for an ensemble cast that can match Ajay’s intense screen presence. This film is shaping up to be a cornerstone of Ajay’s “Franchise King” era, sitting right alongside his upcoming sequels like Shaitaan 2 and Drishyam 3.
Listen, I’ve seen Ajay Devgn do everything from flying between cars to intense drama, but he is at his best when he is scared or scaring us.
Rohit Jugraj directing him is a full-circle moment that fans of Bhoot should be very excited about.
Moving the setting to London tells me they are aiming for a The Conjuring or Hereditary type of vibe—sophisticated yet terrifying.
If they pull this off, Griha Pravesh won’t just be a movie title; it will be Ajay’s official entry into the global horror hall of fame.
Keep your lights on, folks, because July is going to be chilly.
