After the success of Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt has announced his next film, 1920: Cold Winter. On June 19, producer Anand Pandit shared the first-look poster of the film on Instagram and confirmed that he and Bhatt are teaming up again for the horror title.
The announcement comes at a time when Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past has emerged as a surprise box office performer among recent Hindi releases. According to trade website Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 18.91 crore gross and Rs 16.12 crore net in India in 8 days. It has brought audiences back to theatres for Bhatt's horror cinema and has also renewed attention on the 1920 franchise, which will now move into its sixth chapter with 1920:
Cold Winter.
Sharing the poster, Pandit wrote, "The Anand Pandit-Vikram Bhatt partnership continues its winning streak. Following the massive success of 1920, the duo is already creating buzz with Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past and is now all set to bring audiences 1920: Cold Winter, the next chilling chapter in the iconic franchise (sic)."
The first poster shows a mansion with faint yellow lights under a stormy night sky, with an old horse-drawn carriage in the foreground. A blurred face can be seen through the rain-soaked carriage window. The poster carries the tagline, "Beware the innocent. They hide the darkest evil," and also says, "Experience the terror in 3D."
