Roohi’s cast and other details

Roohi is directed by Hardik Mehta and is produced by Maddock Films. The film was expected to release in 2020 but just like many other films, its release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent lockdown. As Bhawra (Rajkummar) and Kattani (Varun) kidnap Roohi (Janhvi), she is soon possessed by a ghost named Afza. Afza is a ghost who captures brides on their honeymoon.

The Roohi's cast and crew have been promoting their film for the past weeks. Ahead of the film’s release Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, and his Bhediya crew watched Roohi in Itanagar. The Bhediya cast and crew took some time out and watched the film at a special screening in the town’s theatre. Varun then posted a video with the crew and talked about how they are watching a film in a movie theatre after more than a year. Varun then urged everybody to support films releasing in theatres and be safe. He also sent his best wishes to the Roohi's cast through this video. Watch Varun Dhawan’s Instagram video here.
