Also starring Kriti Sanon, the film is part of producer Dinesh Vijan's horror-comedy universe, comprising Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor's “Stree” and “Roohi”, featuring Rao and Janhvi Kapoor.

It is directed by "Stree" helmer Amar Kaushik from a script by Niren Bhatt, best known for penning web-series “Asur”.

"‘Stree' was a paisa vasool film and so is ‘Bhediya' with top class VFX. Amar (director) has worked very hard. Hopefully, we will not let you down and you will feel proud. We want to bring the public to theatres," Dhawan said.

The actor said the team is grateful to Shraddha Kapoor for agreeing to do a special appearance in the foot-tapping song.

"Shraddha's demeanour was different and she went completely into her character (from ‘Stree'). We all are grateful to Shraddha for doing this song. It is our wish to create a universe (of horror comedy) but it is possible when the audience loves it and they find it exciting,” Dhawan said.

Actors Deepak Dobriyal and Abhishek Banerjee round out the cast of “Bhediya”.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan, the movie will hit cinema halls in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil in 2D and 3D on November 25.
