Scheduled to be released in 2022, “Adbhut” is produced by Sony Pictures Films India and Sabbir Khan Films. This is their second collaboration after Khan’s yet-to-be-released feature “Nikamma”, starring Shilpa Shetty, Abhimanyu Dasani, and Shirley Setia.
Khan, who has helmed films like “Heropanti” and “Baaghi”, said he is thrilled to collaborate with Sony for “Adbhut”.
“After ”Nikamma”, this is the second film that will be produced by Sony Pictures Films India and Sabbir Khan Films. We always seem to be on the same page when it comes to cinematic experiences and creative direction and we are equally excited about this story that brings together a powerhouse ensemble like Nawazuddin, Diana, Shreya, and Rohan.

“Add to the mystery, powerhouse talent like Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Diana Penty, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Rohan Mehra, and Sabbir’s directorial acumen and you have a winner in hand,” Krishnani added.
