Production has officially begun on "Guru," a new psychological thriller in the Bollywood space. John Abraham leads the cast, with Danish Pandor, Arif Zakaria, and Kitu Gidwani also attached to the project. The film is being directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, whose prior work includes the Netflix series "Bard of Blood" and the features "Girl on the Train" and "Te3n." Dasgupta also has another project, "Section 84 IPC," in development. The announcement was made by Authum Entertainment, which is backing the production.
This thriller could reinforce the growing appetite for genre-driven Hindi cinema beyond traditional romantic and action fare. Audiences may respond to a tightly wound psychological narrative, potentially expanding the commercial viability of such films in the mainstream market. The involvement of a recognizable star like Abraham could draw broader attention to darker storytelling, possibly influencing what studios greenlight next.
