It’s raining horror films in Bollywood and we aren’t complaining! The most recent announcement that took place is about Durgavati, an upcoming horror-thriller film that will star Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role. Interestingly, the film is going to reunite Bhumi with her Toilet: Ek Prem Katha co-star but there’s a catch. The film is going to be presented by Akki and won’t star him. Taking to his social media, the Kesari actor announced Durgavati in a quirky way. (ALSO READ - Sooryavanshi: Akshay Kumar Shoots A Stunt With Rohit Shetty On The Last Day; Says It Will Blow Our Mind)
