Hyderabad: Filmmaker Sajid Khan has returned to direction after a long break. He has started shooting for his upcoming horror film titled Hundred. According to reports, the film went on floors on January 23 at Mumbai’s Film City. The makers chose Basant Panchmi as the special day to begin filming.
This project marks Sajid Khan’s comeback to filmmaking and also signals a major shift from his usual comedy genre to horror.
