The trailer of Chhorii 2, a T-Series, Abundantia Entertainment, Psych and Tamarisk Lane production and the sequel of the horror film, Chhorii, has been released. The film is directed by Vishal Furia .

Expanding the twisted world of its predecessor that streamed in 2021 and was liked for its storytelling rooted in folklore, this new chapter plunges even deeper into folkloric horror, supernatural terror and the unbreakable will of a mother fighting against forces beyond comprehension.

Nushrratt Bharuccha returns as Sakshi, joined by Soha Ali Khan in a pivotal role, alongside an ensemble cast featuring Gashmeer Mahajani, Saurabh Goyal, Pallavi Ajay, Kuldeep Sareen and Hardika Sharma.

Set in the unexplored realm of underground caves, the trailer of Chhorii 2 pulls viewers back into Sakshi’s haunting world, now even darker, deadlier, and more perilous. Haunting rituals, ghostly figures and unsettling folklore build an atmosphere thick with dread as she confronts malevolent supernatural forces to protect her daughter, Ishani. Soha Ali Khan’s mysterious Daasi Ma character only adds to the tension.

Beneath the scares, the trailer reveals an emotional survival story, a mother’s unyielding fight against evil, promising a chilling, more intense chapter filled with fears and unexpected twists.

Speaking about stepping back into Sakshi’s world, Nushrratt observed, “Returning as Sakshi has been one of the most intense yet rewarding experiences of my career. After 7 years of tirelessly protecting her child, Sakshi’s deepest fear comes true, which adds a whole new level of emotion and intensity to the narrative. The horror in this installment feels darker, more powerful and very real because it taps into a mother’s worst nightmare. Vishal has masterfully woven spine-chilling moments with raw emotions making the story a gripping blend of survival, love and the lengths a mother will go to protect her child.”

Soha Ali Khan, who joins the franchise, added, “Joining the talented cast and stepping into such a compelling role was a thrilling new challenge for me. What drew me to the film was how it mixes unsettling, atmospheric horror with folklore that feels so rooted in our culture. My character is layered — there’s menace but also mystery. She’s not someone you can easily predict, which made her a fascinating character to portray on screen. Vishal has crafted a world where fear creeps in from all sides, and being a part of it allowed me to explore a completely new side of myself as an actor.

Sharing insights, director Vishal Furia stated, “With Chhorii 2, we didn’t just want to make a sequel – we wanted to amplify everything that made the first film so haunting and emotionally powerful. The world of Chhorii expands in this chapter; the folklore runs deeper and the evil Sakshi faces feels more personal and dangerous. We’ve introduced new characters, fresh subplots and unexpected twists, all while staying true to the rooted backdrop that gives the story its unique authenticity. At the heart of it, Chhorii 2 is about a mother’s relentless fight against something that is all pervasive, and that is where the real terror lies.”

Vikram Malhotra, founder and chief executive officer, Abundantia Entertainment, said, “With Chhorii 2, we build upon the success of the first film, taking the franchise to new heights. As part of our commitment to genre-driven storytelling, this film is a key addition to our content library, dedicated to

horror and paranormal narratives. Chhorii 2 is a perfect example of how the horror genre can tap into deep fears, challenge perceptions and offer an immersive entertainment experience that truly connects with audiences. It remains our endeavor to bring such impactful stories to life, and we, along with our long-standing partners Prime Video, are excited to offer viewers across the globe another unforgettable chapter in the Chhorii universe.”
