Noted filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who once made waves in Indian cinema with iconic crime and horror dramas, has announced a new film that marks his return to the genre—with a comedic twist. Titled Police Station Mein Bhoot, the project reunites Varma with acclaimed actor Manoj Bajpayee after a long gap.
The film, which Varma describes as a horror-comedy, is set to explore an unconventional premise. “People usually go to the police when they’re scared. But what happens when the police themselves are terrified—by a ghost?” Varma said, revealing the central idea of the story.
Known for classics like Satya, Kaun, and Shool, Varma and Bajpayee last worked together during the peak of RGV’s critically lauded phase. This upcoming collaboration has already sparked interest among cinephiles, particularly as it marks Varma’s first venture into the horror-comedy genre.
The director also confirmed that the film will feature significant VFX work to enhance the supernatural elements. With Police Station Mein Bhoot, Varma aims to deliver a fresh cinematic experience, blending fear and humour in a narrative that challenges the conventional tropes of Indian horror.
The announcement comes at a time when many of Varma’s fans have been calling for a creative resurgence, noting his recent drift from mainstream filmmaking. The upcoming project is being seen as a potential return to form for the controversial yet influential director.
