Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has hinted at joining filmmaker Dinesh Vijan's horror comedy universe with a movie tentatively titled Vampire. There is speculation that the franchise, which started with Amar Kaushik's Stree (2018), will expand with Vampire, featuring Ayushmann and Yashoda star Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Asked about the status of Vampire, Ayushmann said the makers will share an official announcement soon. "Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik are trying to build a horror universe. It is very interesting and intriguing and it is very new for the Indian audience. So, let's see when it happens and we will have an official announcement soon," the 38-year-old actor told PTI in an interview.
The National Award winner previously collaborated with Vijan and Kaushik on the 2019 blockbuster Bala.
As per reports, Vampire will be based on a folklore from Rajasthan. Ayushmann will essay the role of a vampire, while Samantha will play a princess.
This will be the fourth title in the Maddock Films-backed horror-comedy universe after Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor's Stree, Roohi -- featuring Rao, Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Sharma-- and the upcoming Bhediya with Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.
