Kakuda: Sonakshi Sinha, Riteish Deshmukh are all set to tickle the audience’s funny bones & leave them with chills

Do you love horror comedies? If yes, you are in for a treat. ZEE5 has just announced a spine-chilling yet hilarious experience with its foray into the horror-comedy genre with ‘Kakuda’. Starring Riteish Deshmukh, Sonakshi Sinha, and Saqib Saleem in lead roles, Kakuda is produced by RSVP and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar – of Zombivili and Munjya fame.

About Kakuda

The ZEE5 film is set in the village of Ratodi in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura district and it is a place that has been under a curse for years. Every house in the district has two similar-looking doors, one that is normal size and one which is smaller than the other. The film revolves around a peculiar ritual that demands the opening of the smaller door of each house every Tuesday at 7:15 PM sharp. Failure to comply with this rule invites the wrath of Kakuda, who punishes the man of the house.

But who is Kakuda? Why does he punish the men in the village? How will the villagers get rid of the curse?  Beware! Ab Mard Khatre Me Hai! Based in the heartland, Kakuda is a horror comedy that will keep the audience intrigued, entertained and engrossed through its narrative. The movie will soon premiere on ZEE5 in Hindi.
