Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar are set to star in the upcoming rural horror film Kaali Kheti, which will be released in theaters on October 23, 2026.The film's release date was announced with the unveiling of its first poster, giving a hint at the eerie world created by director Haris Imtiyaz Khan.

Kaali Kheti stars Jackie Shroff, Sharad Kelkar, and Neha Sargam in key roles.

The film is set in a rural environment and blends horror with themes of family and hidden secrets.The recently released poster sets a dark and mysterious tone without revealing the main mystery of the film.The visuals are meant to make audiences wonder about the story behind the unsettling setting and what happens next.

Haris Imtiyaz Khan wrote and directed Kaali Kheti, using agriculture as the main theme through a horror story.

He explained that the idea was to look at a common topic from a new and different angle that hadn't been explored before.

Speaking about the film, director Haris Imtiyaz Khan said, "Kaali Kheti is about looking at agriculture through the lens of horror.

It's something I hadn't seen before.It felt new, exciting, and also deeply disturbing.The film is like a mirror to society, but the reflection exists in a scary and fantasy world.Sometimes this world makes no sense, but it always feels oddly familiar.That might be the real horror."

The rural setting plays a big role in the story, focusing on family, legacy, and hidden truths.

Instead of showing the horror elements right away, the creators have kept the story a secret to build suspense around the world of Kaali Kheti.

Kaali Kheti is produced by Sana Khan under BlackCanvas Studio.

Alongside the main cast, Neha Sargam, Virendra Saxena, and Shaji Choudhary also play important roles.With the poster now revealed, Kaali Kheti is getting ready for a theatrical release on October 23, 2026, bringing its rural horror story to cinemas later this year.
