Noting that Hindi horror movies have attained B-grade status, Chhorii 2 director Vishal Furia aims to restore the genre’s credibility

Not everyone has an appetite for horror, but Vishal Furia remembers being fascinated with the genre from his early years. For the director, watching A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) in his childhood was a defining moment. “The character of Freddy haunted me to the extent that I would not sleep, fearing that he might trap me in my dreams,” he recalls, laughing. His love for the genre has led him to helm the Marathi movie, Lapachhapi (2017), and its Hindi adaptation Chhorii (2021). Now, the director is returning with Chhorii 2.
