Cinema VinesActor Ahan Shetty is set to step into the horror arena with his upcoming role in Vikram Bhatt’s latest installment of the long‑running 1920 franchise, 1920: Cold Winter. The Border 2 star, who first made his mark in the romantic action drama Tadap and returned to the silver screen with Border 2, is reportedly looking to diversify his filmography by taking on a supernatural project for the first time.
According to a Mid‑Day report, the film is still in the scripting stage, with Bhatt and producer Anand Pandit actively searching for the female lead. The duo aims to cast a well‑known actress rather than a newcomer, and they are slated to travel to Scotland for a location recce before shooting begins. Some portions of the film are expected to be shot in Shimla, with principal photography slated to start in November if everything proceeds as planned.
Shetty’s involvement comes at a time when the 1920 franchise has expanded beyond its 2008 debut, adding titles such as 1920: Evil Returns, 1920: London, 1921, and 1920: Horrors of the Heart. 1920: Cold Winter will mark the sixth chapter in the series, and the project promises a new twist on the supernatural horror formula that has defined the series.
While neither Shetty nor the makers have officially confirmed the report, the actor’s next outing is already on the cards with director Tinu Desai’s Sanki. As Shetty prepares for his first foray into horror, fans can expect a fresh take on the genre from a filmmaker known for his atmospheric storytelling.
