Ghoul, Netflix India’s first horror miniseries, spooked New Delhi with an exclusive screening at Jagran Film Festival event at Cinepolis (Formerly DT Star Cinemas), DLF Saket on Thursday - a day before its world-wide release. A Jagran Film Festival initiative, the new Netflix Original series is peppered with a host of renowned names - actor Radhika Apte, from the widely appreciated Lust Stories and Sacred Games, Manav Kaul, from Tumhari Sulu, noteworthy filmmaker Patrick Graham and talented producer Vikramaditya Motwane. They were all present at the event to engage in an exciting discussion about the entire Ghoul experience along with Jagran Film Festival Director, Mayank Shekhar, who is also an acclaimed Indian film critic. Netflix and Jagran Film Festival partnered up for the special screening of GHOUL in an effort to promote the story and making of the series. Based on Arabic folklore, GHOUL is set at a covert detention center at which military officials question and often torture suspected terrorists. Nida (Radhika Apte), a newly minted interrogator who turned in her own father as an anti-government activist, arrives at the center to discover that some of these terrorists are not of this world, and she must fight for not just the truth behind the military's hyper-nationalist goals, but for her survival in the face of demons, both human and not. The event saw over 150 enthusiastic fans, media and influencers who experienced the chilling world of GHOUL before the rest of the world! All three episodes of Ghoul, starring Radhika Apte and Manav Kaul, will be available in all territories where Netflix is available on 24th August. GHOUL , produced in partnership with Phantom Films, Ivanhoe and Blumhouse, stars Radhika Apte and Manav Kaul and is Netflix’s first venture into the Horror genre in India. “It has been a rewarding experience partnering with Netflix to promote what is without a doubt, the next most anticipated series. Netflix has been doling out some high quality Indian content and we at the Jagran Film Festival feel nothing but pride to be associated with such great talent. The exclusive screening was fabulous as we also delved deeper in conversation about the story behind creating Ghoul - it’s surely going to be a favourite for horror enthusiasts around the world!” said Basant Rathore, Sr VP – Strategy, Brand & Business Development, Jagran Prakashan.
