Kaali Kheti Trailer: Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar Face a Haunted Harvest

The trailer of Kaali Kheti is out, and it leans all the way into its eerie premise. The psychological rural horror, starring Jackie Shroff and Sharad Kelkar, unveiled its full trailer today at a launch event attended by director Haris Imtiyaz Khan, both lead actors and producer Sana Khan. The film arrives in cinemas on November 20, 2026.

The trailer introduces a village where something is deeply wrong with the land itself. Strange events stalk the agricultural fields, and an unknown supernatural force seems to haunt everyone who works them. Shroff brings his familiar imposing presence to the frame, while Kelkar anchors the dread from the other side of the mystery — but the trailer is careful not to explain itself. It keeps the nature of the threat ambiguous, leaving open whether the horror is rooted in the supernatural or in the village’s own beliefs. The tagline says it plainly: “Kheti Jagne Wali Hai” — the harvest is waking up — and “Some stories are better buried.”

Written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan and produced by Sana Khan under the BlackCanvas Studio banner, in association with Zeroland Production, Kaali Kheti also features Neha Sargam, Virendra Saxena, Shaji Chaudhary and Spandan Sameer Javalagi. PVRINOX Pictures is presenting the film. A teaser released on November 3 offered the first glimpse of the same unsettling world; the full trailer now shows how much further the film intends to go with it.

Here is the Filmverse take: rural horror is one of the most promising lanes in Hindi cinema right now, because it gives a genre film something a city-set horror cannot — a landscape that is itself a character. Kaali Kheti understands that: the fields are not a backdrop, they are the threat. The pairing is smart too. Jackie Shroff’s weathered authority and Sharad Kelkar’s intensity are exactly the kind of grounded, lived-in performances that stop a horror film from floating away into jump scares. The crowded November 20 date will test it — but a horror film with a clear, strange idea and two actors of this calibre has a real chance to be the week’s word-of-mouth title rather than just another release.
