Bhediya revolves around the life of a man, who gets bitten by a werewolf and turns into one on every full moon night. The movie belongs in a shared universe of films overseen by producer Dinesh Vijan that includes Stree and Roohi.

Talking about Bhediya, Varun Dhawan said in a statement, “I agreed to do Bhediya after hearing just the one line idea. I’ve never wanted to let go of the film ever since, and was in constant touch with the producers. This is the wildest character I have played. While it may have been my first foray into the creature comedy genre, Amar had done Stree earlier and was very hands on with the whole process. My biggest dream as an actor is to entertain through a diverse array of roles. Bhediya is the most important addition to that endeavour.”

The film, also starring Deepak Dobriyal, Abhishek Banerjee and Paalin Kabak in pivotal roles, will be released on November 25.
