Ahan switching from action to horror? Interesting move! But making horror from real tragedies feels a bit sensitive. Hope they don't commercialize someone's pain for entertainment.

After watching Tadap, I think Ahan has potential. But horror based on national tragedy? Which tragedy are they referring to? Hope it's not something too recent that might hurt sentiments.

Patrick Graham + horror genre = guaranteed chills! Betaal was so underrated. Looking forward to seeing what they create together. Hope the production values match the ambitious concept.

First Border 2 and now this! Ahan is building an interesting filmography. But 2026 release? That's quite far away. Hope they maintain the momentum until then.

Horror inspired by national tragedy is a bold concept. Hope they focus on storytelling rather than just jump scares. Indian cinema needs more quality horror that actually makes you think.
