HE Kannada film industry is no stranger to supernatural thrillers, but Choo Mantar promises to elevate the genre with its chilling atmosphere, intense performances, and technical finesse, according to the cast. 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.
