Prime Video today unveiled the trailer for Chhorii 2, its much-awaited sequel to the 2021 horror film Chhorii. Director Vishal Furia returns to helm the sequel which is set to premiere on the service on April 11.
The trailer of the sequel takes us back to Sakshi’s (Nushrratt Bharuccha) dark world, now turned even deadlier. Without revealing too much about the plot, the trailer manages to create intrigue with its eerie atmosphere. We see glimpses of a story in which Sakshi deals with haunting rituals, spectres and black magic to protect her daughter Ishani.
The highlight of the trailer, however, is Soha Ali Khan’s character, Daasi. “Seven years after the events of Chhorii, Sakshi lives peacefully with her daughter, Ishani, far from the horrors of their past. Ishani suffers from a rare condition that forces her to live in darkness, as sunlight could kill her. Despite this, Ishani remains a brave and happy child. One night, a ghostly figure appears in Ishani’s room, luring her away like a possessed doll. When Sakshi returns home, Ishani is gone. Desperate, she turns to Inspector Samar for help.
“Their search leads them back to the village she swore never to revisit. In the maze-like sugarcane fields, Sakshi and Samar face ancient terrors. Separated by a sinister force, Sakshi encounters someone she thought was dead, only to be struck down and left unconscious. She awakens in an underground cave where the villagers worship a malevolent deity. Daasi, the shape-shifting priestess, announces Ishani’s sacrifice in three days. Sakshi must stop the ritual and save her daughter before it’s too late,” reads the logline.
Speaking about stepping back into Sakshi’s world, Nushrratt shared, “Returning as Sakshi in Chhorii 2 has been one of the most intense yet rewarding experiences of my career. After 7 years of tirelessly protecting her child, Sakshi’s deepest fear comes true, which adds a whole new level of emotion and intensity to the narrative. The horror in this installment feels darker, more powerful, and very real because it taps into a mother’s worst nightmare. Vishal has masterfully woven spine-chilling moments with raw emotions making the story a gripping blend of survival, love, and the lengths a mother will go to protect her child.”
Soha said, “What drew me to the film was how it mixes unsettling, atmospheric horror with folklore that feels so rooted in our culture. My character is layered — there’s menace but also mystery. She’s not someone you can easily predict, which made her a fascinating character to portray on screen. Vishal has crafted a world where fear creeps in from all sides, and being a part of it allowed me to explore a completely new side of myself as an actor.”
Chhorii 2 also stars Gashmeer Mahajani, Saurabh Goyal, Pallavi Ajay, Kuldeep Sareen, and Hardika Sharma. The film is produced by T-Series, Abundantia Entertainment, Psych, and Tamarisk Lane Production.
