Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming musical horror film Rooh has secured a significant production and music partnership, with Kumar Taurani’s Tips Films and Tips Music coming on board. The collaboration brings together the actor, known for several memorable horror films and music-driven romantic dramas, with one of the Hindi film industry’s established production and music banners.
Directed by Mayank Sharma and written by Vishal Kapoor and Mayank Sharma, Rooh is being developed as a theatrical experience that blends horror, romance and emotion, with music playing a central role in its storytelling. The film is scheduled for a 2027 theatrical release across Hindi, Tamil and Telugu markets.
The association also reunites Emraan Hashmi with Kumar Taurani, whose production banner was involved in the actor’s debut film, Footpath, released in 2003. The new collaboration brings their professional association back together for a project that aims to combine atmospheric horror with an emotionally driven musical narrative.
Tips Films and Tips Music Join Emraan Hashmi’s Rooh
Kumar Taurani, who is producing the film alongside Girissh Kumar, Vikram Khakhar and Sunny Khanna, described the association with Emraan as a special one. He recalled their earlier collaboration on Footpath and expressed enthusiasm about working together again.
“The association with Emraan is special, as we were also the producers on his debut film Footpath (2003). Over the years, we have had many memorable successes across several films and with Rooh, we are excited to recreate that magic once again,” Taurani said.
He also expressed excitement about collaborating with Sunny Khanna and Vikram Khakhar on the project, adding that the team looks forward to bringing a compelling theatrical experience to audiences.
For Tips Films and Tips Music, the partnership connects the company’s production experience with a film that places music at the heart of its narrative. Rather than treating the soundtrack as an addition to the story, Rooh is being positioned as a musical horror film in which the songs and score will contribute to its emotional atmosphere.
Emraan Hashmi Returns to Horror With a Romantic Musical Story
Emraan Hashmi has previously headlined several Hindi horror films, making Rooh another notable addition to his association with the genre. This time, the project brings horror and romance together, with emotion forming a key part of its creative direction.
Music has also been an important part of Hashmi’s screen identity. Songs from several of his films have remained popular with audiences, often becoming closely associated with love, heartbreak and nostalgia. With Rooh, the actor and the production team intend to build on that connection through music that reflects the film’s romantic and haunting tone.
Speaking about the project, Hashmi said, “Collaborating with Kumar ji on this film feels serendipitous. Music has always been an integral part of how audiences connect with my films. With Rooh, we want music that captures the soul of the film, which is deeply romantic, haunting and rooted by emotion.”
His comments underline the importance of music to the film’s overall vision. However, the makers have not yet revealed details about the soundtrack, singers, composers or individual songs.
