The cameras are officially rolling for Police Station Mein Bhoot, a horror-comedy directed by Ram Gopal Varma that brings back Manoj Bajpayee in a genre-bending role, alongside Genelia Deshmukh. The film's principal setting, a haunted police station, is a renovated home in Ameerpet, and the shoot has begun in Hyderabad.
This film heralds a return to collaboration between RGV and Bajpayee, nearly three decades after their revolutionary work in Satya, Kaun, and Shool. The reunion has been long anticipated. This time around, though, they're venturing into uncharted cinematic terrain by fusing horror with comedy.
The poster for Police Station Mein Bhoot sets the tone. It shows Bajpayee in a police uniform, with his eyes shining in an unusual way and his face obscured, holding a scary doll that is covered in blood. Dressed in red and embellished with prayer beads, the doll suggests a spiritual connection with its glassy eyes and crude face paint. Unsettling and intriguing, the poster is a clear indication that this film would not adhere to traditional horror conventions, thanks to Bajpayee's passionate face and the doll's uncanny gaze.
The actor posted a caption on Instagram that read, "SHOOT BEGINS! From Satya to now… some journeys are meant to come full circle. Thrilled to reunite with @rgvzoomin after nearly three decades for our new horror comedy Police Station Mein Bhoot. This one is special."
Deshmukh, who has made a triumphant comeback to mainstream cinema, has also joined the cast as the female lead. Her previous onscreen character is drastically different from her one in this horror comedy.
"First time stepping into a world where fear meets fun. Had a scarily good time sharing the screen with @bajpayee.manoj in POLICE STATION MEIN BHOOT, directed by the maverick @RGVzoomin. A thriller like no other, built on a chilling thought: ‘When we’re scared, we run to the police. But where do the police run when they’re scared?’" Genelia posted on Instagram.
Paranormal activity involving the souls of slain gangsters is at the heart of the story. Contrary to expectations, the police, who are usually viewed as guardians, are overcome with terror and unable to respond. According to Ram Gopal Varma, the film will have state-of-the-art visual effects that will bolster the horror aspects while retaining a quirky, darkly humorous tone. He has also promised that the film would be entertaining.
Visual effects and post-production will play a significant role in giving life to the supernatural aspects, and production is anticipated to continue in other locations across South India.
Police Station Mein Bhoot combines an unusual blend of horror and comedy with the return of two legendary figures from Indian cinema, making it a unique and much-anticipated film in the coming months.
