Horror movies have always had a dedicated fan base, and OTT platforms have made it easier than ever for audiences to experience spine-chilling thrills from the comfort of their homes. While some viewers enjoy peeking through their fingers, others are drawn to the thrill of watching alone, letting the suspense grip them fully.

Naga Chaitanya is set to star in the mystical thriller tentatively titled NC24. Directed by Virupaksha filmmaker Kartik Dandu, the movie also features Laapataa Ladies fame Sparsh Srivastava as the antagonist. The project is currently in production.

Marking 16 years in the film industry, Naga Chaitanya shared insights with Deccan Chronicle about his approach to cinema.

Speaking about his collaboration with Sobhita Dhulipala, he said, “Sobhita has been acting since winning Miss India, but she’s carved her own path. She chooses author-backed roles and films that lean towards artistic storytelling. Her passion for poetry also shapes her perspective. I, on the other hand, approach films from a more commercial standpoint.”

Naga Chaitanya further explained his preference for stories rooted in Indian culture. “I look for roles that are deeply connected to our land and heritage. The world is curious about India — our emotions, our traditions, our stories. That’s what I aim to bring to the screen,” he added.

Movie enthusiasts across the nation are eagerly awaiting Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas’ upcoming action thriller, Spirit. For Prabhas fans craving updates, here’s some exciting news. During a recent appearance on Jagapathi Babu’s talk show Jayammu Nischayammu Raa, Sandeep Reddy Vanga shared a fascinating insight about the film’s production.

According to the filmmaker, Spirit will follow a method similar to his earlier blockbuster Animal. “Shooting a film becomes much easier when the background music (BGM) is ready on set. You know exactly when to call cut, and the rhythm helps the actors deliver better performances,” Vanga explained. He added that while he didn’t have this advantage during Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, 80% of the BGM was completed before the shoot for Animal, and for Spirit, 70% of the BGM is already ready.

Vanga further revealed, “This approach will save around 5–6 days of production. Prabhas is extremely cooperative and down-to-earth. Despite being a superstar, he never flaunts it. We are all set to start the shoot soon.”

Fans can expect a streamlined production process and an exciting new avatar of Prabhas in Spirit, making anticipation for the film even higher.

Many such films, which saw only a moderate run in theatres, are now recording massive viewership on digital platforms.

For the second one, the group ventures into an abandoned bungalow, where they discover an old book.

The spirit, driven by uncontrollable hunger, wreaks havoc by devouring everything in sight before possessing one of Parameshwar’s friends. The rest of the film unfolds as Parameshwar and his gang attempt to rid themselves of the spirit, uncover its origins, and discover whether Parameshwar’s dream of opening a restaurant will ever come true.
