The trailer of 'Kakuda,' a horror-comedy directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, known for 'Munja,' has captured the interest of viewers. It teases an intriguing mystery surrounding the village of Ratodi and the ominous curse of Kakuda. Sonakshi Sinha, sharing the trailer, added a tantalizing caption: "The secret of Ratodi and the curse of Kakuda will be unveiled. Every Tuesday at 7:30 pm, keep your doors open, because Kakuda is coming."

Set in the quaint village of Ratodi in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, 'Kakuda' tells a gripping tale. The village is peculiar for its homes, each featuring two identical doors, one of which is notably smaller. This smaller door must be opened every Tuesday at exactly 7:15 pm to avoid the wrath of Kakuda. While the story is rooted in Uttar Pradesh, the entire film was actually shot in Gujarat.
