Eerie Teaser Of Tumbbad Director Next Mayasabha

Cult horror film 'Tumbbad' director Rahi Anil Barve's Mayasabha teaser is out, showcasing a haunting narrative with Jaaved Jaaferi at its center. The film's one-minute teaser introduces a mysterious world centered around a crumbling, abandoned theatre, setting a grim tone with eerie visuals and cryptic dialogues.

Jaaved Jaaferi plays a troubled and paranoid man living in the decaying theatre, with metallic gold makeup and a mask covering his face. The teaser hints at his obsession with smoke, fear of mosquitoes, and ritualistic movements. The story takes a turn with the entry of two outsiders, played by Veena Jamkar and Deepak Damle, leading to a cat-and-mouse game with hidden truths and secrets.

The film's story revolves around Jaaved's character and his 14-year-old son, who has grown up in this strange environment. With minimal dialogue and psychological focus, Mayasabha promises a slow-burning, atmospheric experience. Jaaved Jaaferi praised the script, calling it the best he's read in his 40-year career, and credited Barve's vision and storytelling.

Mayasabha: The Hall of Illusion is set to release in cinemas on January 30, 2026, clashing with Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3.
