Abhishek Bachchan made a successful comeback with Anurag Kashyap's recent film, Manmariziyan, also starring Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. While the audience and critics applauded him for his restrained and mature act, Abhishek is busy adding more projects to his kitty. The actor is now set to act in a horror comedy directed by Ragini MMS and Phobia producer, Pawan Kripalani.

A source close to the venture revealed that the film, titled Tantrik, will go on the floors next year in Mumbai. They also added that Pawan is yet to finalize the other locations and a leading lady opposite Abhishek.

Pawan has tried his hand at horror with Darr, starring Jimmy Sheirgill and Nushrat Bharucha. He has admitted at being a psycho-thriller loyalist, so this project can be something interesting to watch out for. Abhishek and Pawan remained unavailable for a comment.

On the work front, Abhishek will be seen in the Life in a Metro sequel, also starring Rajkummar Rao and Aditya Kapur. He will also be seen Gulab Jamun, with wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. This film will mark the couple's reunion on-screen after a hiatus of eight years.
