Tips Films joins Emraan Hashmi's musical horror Rooh

Tips Films and Tips Music have come on board Rooh, Emraan Hashmi’s musical horror film, with Kumar Taurani joining as producer. Mayank Sharma, the creator of the Prime Video series Breathe, directs, and wrote the screenplay with Vishal Kapoor. The film is set for a 2027 theatrical release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

The pairing makes sense on paper. Emraan Hashmi has spent much of his career in Hindi horror, and his films’ songs about love, longing and heartbreak carried a generation. Rooh is meant to mix horror and romance with music at the centre, and a music label as producer puts the songs at the top of the brief. Tips Music will release the soundtrack.

For Kumar Taurani, it is a reunion. “Working with Emraan again is very special for us, because we produced his debut film Footpath too,” he said. “We have had memorable successes together over the years, and we believe Rooh will recreate that magic.”

Emraan Hashmi called working with Kumar Taurani again a happy coincidence. “Music has always played a big part in how audiences connect emotionally with my films,” he said. “We want to create music full of love, mystery and deep emotion that reflects the soul of Rooh.”

Tips Films presents Rooh, produced by Vicked Films Productions. Kumar Taurani, Girish Kumar, Vikram Kakkar and Sunny Khanna are producers, with Vikas Sahni as co-producer. Vikram Kakkar called the tie-up a milestone for Vicked Films, and Sunny Khanna said it would help take the film to Hindi, Tamil and Telugu audiences together.
