Vishwaksen is stepping into one of the boldest phases of his career with #Cult, India's first true slasher film. His third Directorial after Falaknuma Das and Das Ki Dhamki, #Cult is Produced by Sandeep Kakarala under Tarak Cinemas, the film is powered entirely by Vishwak Sen's creative vision, with him steering the story, screenplay, and direction. The film promises a raw, uncompromising cinematic experience, inspired by disturbing real incidents.
The teaser has finally been unveiled, showcasing a group of friends who land in Goa for a wild night, only to be denied entry into a pub. They secure Cult Passes to an exclusive party, which quickly turns into a nightmare when the host introduces a deadly game where survival becomes the only rule. As people are killed one after another, the narrative takes a gripping turn with the arrival of the Game Master, a figure even more unhinged.
Vishwaksen introduces a new genre to Indian cinema with style, delivering a fresh, edgy, and immersive experience. The narrative is bold, raw, bloody, and unapologetically brutal. The film features an impressive ensemble of young and dynamic actors, including Gayatri Bharadwaj, Tarak Ponnappa, and Murali Sharma, each bringing a distinct energy to the story.
The technical team is equally impressive, with Tharun Bhascker penning sharp dialogues, Ravi Basrur crafting an intense soundscape, and Arvind Vishwanathan handling cinematography. The film's visual and technical finesse is further strengthened by editor Ravi Teja Girijala and production designer Arvind Mule. #Cult is being prepared for a multilingual release in Telugu, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, and English, aiming to connect with audiences across continents through its universally gripping theme and cinematic scale.
