Yuvraj Thakur and Anupriya Goenka team up for a short film

Television heartthrob Yuvraj Thakur, who is best known for playing Arjun Thakur in Humse Hai Liife and Sammy in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, has been roped in to headline an upcoming short film, which still remains untitled.

Joining him as the female lead on the cast of the short film will be immensely talented Anupriya Goenka, who is currently busy receiving rave reviews for her splendid performance in Hotstar Premium’s Criminal Justice.


Though nothing much is known about the film at the moment, sources reveal that it will be a part of a bunch of short movies made under a project called Hamara Movies. A number of renowned directors from Bollywood, including Rajkumar Hirani, Raj Kumar Gupta, Vikramaditya Motwane, Omung Kumar, and others, are coming together to bring these short films to life.

According to a report, all the above-mentioned filmmakers will mentor their assistants, who will then helm the entire project on their own and bring it to life. Yuvraj and Anupriya have been cast to headline Omung Kumar’s short film, which will be directed by his assistant director Apurva Bajaj.

These short films will exclusively premiere on Amazon Prime.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
