Mumbai, Jan 15 (NationPress) The initial glimpse of the forthcoming sci-fi supernatural thriller film ‘Baida’ has been revealed. It promises to usher the audience into a captivating realm filled with abandoned cottages, lanterns, forests, and a complex tapestry of illusions.
This film is hailed as the first of its kind, a sci-fi supernatural thriller set against the backdrop of India’s Hindi Heartland. It draws inspiration from one of director Sudhanshu Rai’s popular audio narratives.
The cast includes Shobhit Sujay, Manisha Rai, Tarun Khanna, Sourabh Raaj Jain, Hiten Tejwani, Akhlaq Ahmad Azad, and Pradeep Kabra. The film is helmed by Sudhanshu Rai and Puneet Sharma.
Discussing the film, Puneet Sharma stated, “BAIDA is a narrative of illusions, where the main character, portrayed by Sudhanshu, navigates through various dimensions and timelines. As he journeys to an unknown destination, he encounters a deceptive figure, leading to an experience that has not been seen before by Indian audiences. This is a story about unimaginable realms, and BAIDA offers two hours of pure entertainment meant for the big screen.”
The film’s editor is Pratheek Shetty, recognized for ‘Kantara’ and ‘777 Charlie’.
Sudhanshu commented, “‘Baida’ fulfills my commitment to my fans and listeners by providing a cinematic experience of the fictional universe I have developed over the years. Although it narrates the tale of a former spy ensnared in the dark and eerie world of a man who defies the cycles of time and death, a special highlight is the on-screen debut of Dr. Shekhawat, a character beloved by my listeners. We anticipate that the audience will appreciate the uniqueness and illusionary realm of ‘Baida’.”
The movie is produced by Saints Art and Kahanikaar. It is scheduled to premiere in India on March 21, 2025.
