Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Anurag Kashyap collaborated in 2018 to make four short films called ‘Lust Stories’. Each of them shared one story each revolving around love, lust and desire. The stories had Bhumi Pednekar, Radhika Apte, Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani in prominent roles.

Now, the four have decided to collaborate again for an anthology which will be titled ‘Ghost Stories’. Like the last series, ‘Ghost Stories’ will have four filmmakers share one horror story each. Reports say that Janhvi Kapoor has been already finalized by Zoya Akhtar.

Zoya has a script ready and she will soon be filming her short. It is a quirky but really scary story and this will be her first stint with the horror genre. But everyone who has heard the story has loved it,” said a source close to the development to Pinkvilla.

The report also said that Zoya has been locked as the main lead for her anthology. “Janhvi Kapoor is the one who will essay the main protagonist in Zoya’s short. Zoya and Janhvi met and the actress was bowled over by the script. It didn’t take too much of convincing and ‘Ghost Stories’ will mark Janhvi’s debut into the digital world as well. She has also alloted her dates for the same and since it’s a 30-minute short, it will be wrapped up in about ten days of shoot,” the source added.

This will not be Jahnvi Kapoor’s first time into this space as she has undertaken ‘RoohiAfza’ with Rajkummar Rao that’s also a horror-comedy. Janhvi will also be seen essaying the role of IAF pilot Gunjan Saxena in her biopic. She will also be seen in ‘Dostana 2’ alongside Kartik Aaryan and in Karan Johar’s magnum opus ‘Takht’.
