Get ready for a laugh-out-loud horror ride that’ll leave you both giggling! ZEE5 Global, the current king of South Asian streaming, just dropped the trailer for their highly anticipated horror-comedy “Kakuda,” and it looks absolutely bonkers! Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and produced by Ronnie Screwvala of RSVP, “Kakuda” boasts a cast to die for (pun intended). We’re talking Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh, Saqib Saleem, and Aasif Khan. The trailer gives us a peek into the strange curse plaguing the village of Ratodi. This hilarious and spooky trio is determined to crack the case, and “Kakuda” premieres on July 12th exclusively on ZEE5 Global.
So, What’s the Story?
The trailer follows Sunny (Saqib Saleem), a not-so-bright fella who falls head over heels for Indira (Sonakshi Sinha). They tie the knot and move to Ratodi, only to be met with a bizarre curse: Kakuda. This wicked ghost shows up every night at 7:15 PM sharp, demanding entry through a specific small door. If the man of the house fails to open it, well, let’s just say Kakuda leaves a nasty hump on his back that grows bigger by the day until…well, let’s not spoil the surprise!
With Sunny’s life on the line, Indira seeks help from Victor, an eccentric ghost hunter played by the ever-charming Riteish Deshmukh. Together, they embark on a wild journey to unravel the mystery of Kakuda, uncover the truth behind the ghost’s identity, and break the village’s decades-long curse. But will unexpected twists and turns leave Sunny doomed?
“Kakuda” is based on a unique piece of folklore, and it promises to be a fun ride filled with laughs and scares. Get ready to stream it starting July 12, 2024, only on ZEE5 Global.
