“As a writer/director, I thrive on bending genres and inverting tropes and I am looking forward to attempting that with a ghost story,” Zoya had told IANS.

As for Karan Johar, he revealed that he has always been mortified to watch the horror genre. “I have always stayed far away from any ghost story! So to direct one is not only hugely challenging but also exceptionally exciting,” Karan Johar told IANS.
