Veteran Bollywood actors Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar will soon be seen in the rural horror film 'Kaali Kheti'. The makers have announced the film's release date and unveiled a new poster. Actress Neha Sargam will also play a pivotal role in the project.

**When will the film be released? ****
The makers have released a new poster for the upcoming film, featuring a demon holding a lantern. The poster has a dark and eerie aesthetic, accompanied by suspenseful background music. It states that the film will be released in theaters on October 23. Sharing the poster, Jackie Shroff wrote in the caption, "Don't let the light go out; the harvest is about to awaken."

**Who is the director? ****
Harsh Imtiaz Khan is the writer and director of the film. It is being produced under the banner of Black Canvas Studios, with Sana Khan serving as the producer. Virendra Saxena and Shaji Chaudhary will also play key roles.

**Potential box-office clash**
Several major films are scheduled for release in October, including Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam 3', Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Udta Teer', Rashmika and Vijay's 'Ranbali', Yami Gautam's 'Nayi Naveli', and 'Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar'. 'Kaali Kheti' is set to clash with 'Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar', which is also releasing on October 23.

**What did the director say about the film?**
Speaking about the film, director Khan said, "For me, 'Kaali Kheti' is about viewing farming through the lens of horror—something I had never seen before. It felt new, exciting, and at the same time, deeply unsettling." This film is a mirror to society; it is just that its reflection appears in a terrifying, imaginary world. At times, this world is incomprehensible, yet it always feels strangely familiar. Perhaps that is the true horror.
