“The film is a combination of horror and mystery, and I intended for it to not be too scary,” he said.
“The movie, which runs for an hour and 45 minutes, took eight months to shoot… I hope that it will be well-received and supported.”
‘Waris’ will screen at cinemas nationwide and the team will also be holding road shows at the different branches of Times Cineplex.
