Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao have teamed up for Dinesh Vijan's upcoming film which will help him expand his universe of horror-comedies that are made in India. Formerly titled RoohAfza, the film's title was then changed to Roohi Afza and then Roohi Afzana. However, now the makers have locked the title Roohi. After much wait, the film will be releasing in theatres on March 11. It is the first big-budget project to hit the silver screens after the COVID-19 lockdown.

The makers shared the teaser on social media today. The trailer will release tomorrow. "Iss Bhootiya Shaadi mein aapka swagat hai! #MagicOfCinemaReturns; movie releases 11th March," Janhvi wrote while sharing the teaser on Instagram.

Speaking on behalf of Jio Studios, Jyoti Deshpande, President – Media & Entertainment, RIL said, "We have always invested in great stories with amazing production values, visually and by way of sound, which is best experienced on the big screen to have that ‘paisa vasool wali feeling’. We owed it to our partners across the value chain, be it Maddock or the Cinema Exhibitors, to hold on to our fabulous film for this day and give it the grand release that it deserves and promise a complete entertainment experience to our audiences who have waited over a year for this. With Roohi, the magic of Cinema is back…come celebrate with us. We promise to make you smile under your masks".

Producer Dinesh, Maddock Films, commented, “At Maddock, we are all storytellers driven by our love for cinema in all its vibrant forms. While Stree was a genre bending tale that gave audiences something never seen before, Roohi takes this vision a step further by offering the same brand of spine chilling scares and quirky comedy. With a partner like Jio Studios that shares our passion for the eponymous "bada parda", we hope Roohi rekindles the audience's long standing romance with the silver screen. It is a film tailor made to be viewed at your nearest theatre"
