Directed by Navaneeth, known for his success with Karvva, this supernatural horror film boasts an ensemble cast featuring Sharan, Chikkanna, Meghana Gaonkar, Aditi Prabhudeva, Prabhu Mundkur, and newcomer Kiran. Choo Mantar is slated for release on January 10 and is produced by Manasa Tarun and Tarun Shivappa under the Tarun Studios banner.

Meghana, Aditi, Prabhu Mundkur, and Kiran have shared their experiences about the film and how it will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
