Additionally, the distribution house will also release Hammer Films’ Daniel Radcliffe-starrer Woman In Black on 10 February.
Directed by James Watkins, the film is being released in the country in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
The film has Radcliffe playing a widowed lawyer Arthur Kipps who leaves his son in London to settle the legal affairs of the recently deceased Alice Drablow. But upon his arrival, it soon becomes clear that everyone in the town is keeping a deadly secret.
Although the townspeople try to keep Kipps from learning their tragic history, he soon discovers that the house belonging to his client is haunted by the ghost of a woman who is determined to find someone and something she lost... and no one, not even the children, are safe from her vengeance.
Besides Radcliffe, the film also stars Ciaran Hinds, Janet Mc Teer, Roger Allam, Shaun Dooley, Sophie Stuckey and David Burke among others.
