Kaali Kheti teaser shows Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar in a village horror

The teaser for the Hindi horror film Kaali Kheti is out, with Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar in the lead roles. The film is scheduled to reach theatres on 20 November 2026.

The teaser presents a village that appears to be living under a threat tied to its farmland. It does not reveal what the force is or whether it is supernatural. The title points to the link between the fields and the danger, with farming taking on a darker meaning.

Neither Shroff nor Kelkar's characters have been revealed. Both actors appear prominently in the teaser, and their presence adds to the mystery. Neha Sargam, Virendra Saxena and Shaji Choudhary also have pivotal roles.

A folklore-based horror

The film has been written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan, with Sana Khan as producer. It is made by BlackCanvas Studio. It draws on local folklore, rural beliefs and the bond between a community and the land it works. One reviewer-style write-up praised the premise for moving away from familiar horror tropes, though the piece was a preview rather than a review.

Hindi horror has often relied on urban settings and familiar supernatural figures. Rural folklore offers a less explored setting, and the teaser suggests the film will build its fear around the land itself.

What it means for viewers

For Indian audiences, the film is a rural horror release in cinemas. Its setting in farming villages may appeal to viewers looking for folk-inspired scares rather than the usual haunted-house story.

The release date was moved to 20 November 2026 from an earlier date. The teaser does not say whether the film will carry a certification or running time. The makers have not released further plot details, and what the force is and how the villagers respond remain unknown until the film opens.
