Blessed Be The Evil, directed and co-written by Anurag Rudra with Gatha Tiwary, weaves a suspenseful tale rooted in personal tragedy and the supernatural.

The blend of Hollywood and Bollywood talent aims to create a gripping atmosphere that resonates with international audiences.
The director, Anurag Rudra, shared insight into the film‘s inspiration, stating,
“Being born and spending my childhood in rural India, I was told stories that got embedded in my mind and heart. This folklore was so special that I truly believed in all the stories, and wanted to showcase them internationally through the art of cinema – the strongest and most beautiful way to connect to dreams and reality.”
By integrating elements of Indian folklore within a Western narrative framework, the creators hope to deliver an emotionally charged experience that appeals to a broad audience.
With filming set to commence in New York, the anticipation surrounding Kangana Ranaut’s Hollywood debut continues to build. The collaboration with seasoned actors like Tyler Posey and Scarlet Rose Stallone adds a new dimension to her already impressive career. As production unfolds, fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see how this international project shapes Ranaut’s global image and contributes to the ongoing exchange of storytelling between Bollywood and Hollywood.
