Sajid Khan, a filmmaker with a history of delivering back-to-back hits, is making his much-anticipated return to direction. Breaking from his usual comic capers, Khan has quietly begun shooting for his next film, titled Hundred, which marks his exciting foray into the horror genre. This project is generating significant buzz, particularly with its promising new cast.
Sajid Khan's Return to the Director's Chair
After a period of hiatus, Sajid Khan has once again donned the director's hat for 'Hundred'. The filming commenced on Friday, January 23, in Mumbai's Film City, strategically chosen to coincide with the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchmi. This venture sees Khan exploring a new narrative style, signaling a fresh chapter in his illustrious career.
Meet the Cast & Crew of 'Hundred'
• Leading Man: The film serves as the launchpad for Yashvardhan Ahuja, the talented son of veteran actor Govinda and Sunita Ahuja.
• Leading Lady: Nitanshi Goel, who recently impressed audiences with her performance in *Laapataa Ladies* (2024), steps into the role of the female lead.
• Producers: 'Hundred' is a joint production by Amar Butala and Balaji Telefilms, led by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor.

A Full Circle Moment: From Comedy to Horror
While Sajid Khan is widely recognized for his successful comedies, 'Hundred' marks a significant shift to horror. Interestingly, this isn't his first encounter with the genre. Khan's directorial journey actually began with a short film for the 2006 horror anthology *Darna Zaroori Hai*, bringing his career full circle with this new horror venture.
