Bankrolled by Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar, and Vikram Malhotra, Durgavati is the Hindi remake of Telugu horror film Bhaagamathie.
The original film starred Anushka Shetty and was a full-throttle horror film.
Directed by Ashok G, Durgavati will reportedly revolve around a woman imprisoned in a haunted house while being interrogated in a corruption case.
The filming of Durgavati has already begun in Madhya Pradesh and the film will be shot across several real locations like Moti Mahal, Sadar Manzil, Oriental Institute of Science & Technology, Bhopal’s Old Central jail amongst many others.
Pednekar recently won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of elderly sharpshooter Chandro Tomar in Saand Ki Aankh.
