The supernatural horror franchise '1920' is gearing up for its next installment, titled '1920: Cold Winter.' Vikram Bhatt, the director of the original 2008 film, is returning to the series in a creative capacity. This new chapter will feature Ahan Shetty and Anya Singh in the lead roles.
Filming for '1920: Cold Winter' is slated to commence in December 2026. Bhatt expressed that he found a story different enough from the original to warrant his creative involvement again. He emphasized that while the film stays within the supernatural horror genre, it will explore possession in a novel way.
Bhatt also discussed the casting of Ahan Shetty and Anya Singh. He noted his prior interest in casting Ahan and praised Anya's blend of vulnerability and strength. The filmmaker believes the genre's enduring appeal lies in its honest, adrenaline-fueled, and predictable entertainment value for audiences.
Looking ahead, Bhatt is open to the '1920' franchise continuing, provided each new film offers fresh content. The series began in 2008 with Bhatt's directorial debut and was followed by '1920: The Evil Returns' in 2012.
