This is the season of horror films, and producers are cashing in on the same. A top-notch studio backed a multistarrer movie set against the backdrop of a forest in 2005, but the film tanked at the box office.

Since then, no one has attempted the genre again. A few years back, a rising studio backed a horror-comedy that worked well enough, and several producers have been eyeing similar subjects ever since.

After 2005, the former studio decided to take the franchise ahead with the A-list actor, who was there in the first part too. Alongside him, the makers are planning to rope in the current national crush, who recently parted ways with her actor-boyfriend.
