RSVP announces its homegrown horror-comedy âKakuda'. The Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha and Saqib Saleem starrer, goes on floors today. âKakuda' also marks the Hindi directorial debut of filmmaker Aditya Sarpotdar, the man behind critically acclaimed Marathi films like - âClassmates', âMauli' and âFaster Fene'. âKakuda', with equal doses of comedy and spook, explores the legend of a strange curse in a village stuck in time. The eclectic trio are confronted with a challenging ghost who makes them question superstition, tradition and even love in a rollercoaster ride filled with fear and fun.
The film has been written by the talented duo Avinash Dwivedi and Chirag Garg and was developed from a nascent stage by Salona Bains Joshi, the Associate Producer on the film. Talking about the film, director Aditya Sarpotdar said, "I'm very excited to collaborate with Ronnie Screwvala. We are treating the film like nothing short of a big-scale commercial movie. The casting was just perfect and the story will have you both at the edge of your seat and in splits."
