MUMBAI: Eros International have joined hands with NextGen Films to co-produce the psychological thriller Phobia starring Radhika Apte.

The movie will be directed by Pawan Kriplani, who directed Ragini MMS in 2011.

NextGen Films’ producer Viki Rajani said, “Radhika has proven her acting prowess time and again with her previous films. I am sure she will be able to deliver another enthralling performance in this genre, which is also a first for me. Pawan has earlier directed this genre expertly and audiences can look forward to a taut edgy thriller.”

Apte added, “I absolutely love thrillers and horrors, so I’m very happy to be doing my first film in this genre. I am particularly excited to collaborate with Eros, Next Gen and Pavan on our project together.”

Phobia is slated to go on floors on 10 October, 2015.
