The trailer of folk-horror film Chhorii 2 was released by the makers on Thursday. The sequel to the 2021 film Chhorii will see Nushrratt Bharuccha reprise her role of Sakshi. Soha Ali Khan is the new addition to the cast. Vishal Furia, who helmed the first part, has also directed the sequel.
The trailer opens with a voiceover telling us a story of a king who was blessed with a daughter, only he didn’t take it as a blessing. He tasked his dasi (helper), played by Soha, to get rid of her. The trailer proceeds like a fever dream as we see Nushrratt’s Sakshi trying to navigate a labyrinth in order to save her daughter. It seems like she is trapped in a well which was also present in the film’s first part.
Speaking about stepping back into Sakshi’s world, Nushrratt Bharuccha shared, “After 7 years of tirelessly protecting her child, Sakshi’s deepest fear comes true, which adds a whole new level of emotion and intensity to the narrative. The horror in this installment feels darker, more powerful, and very real because it taps into a mother’s worst nightmare."
Soha Ali Khan, who joins the Chhorii franchise, added, “What drew me to the film was how it mixes unsettling, atmospheric horror with folklore that feels so rooted in our culture. My character is layered — there’s menace but also mystery. She’s not someone you can easily predict, which made her a fascinating character to portray on screen.”
Sharing insights about the film’s premise, director Vishal Furia highlighted, “With Chhorii 2, we didn’t just want to make a sequel – we wanted to amplify everything that made the first film so haunting and emotionally powerful. The world of Chhorii expands in this chapter; the folklore runs deeper, and the evil Sakshi faces feels more personal and dangerous.”
