The much-anticipated supernatural thriller Baida is slated for a theatrical release in early 2025. Set against the rich cultural backdrop of India’s Hindi heartland, the film promises a unique blend of suspense, sci-fi, and larger-than-life storytelling.
Directed by Sudhanshu Rai and Puneet Sharma, Baida features an impressive cast, including Sourabh Raaj Jain, Hiten Tejwani, and Tarun Khanna.
Sudhanshu Rai, speaking about the project, shared, “With Baida, we continue our focus on storytelling as the cornerstone. It’s a gripping tale with unexpected twists, turns, and unforgettable characters that will captivate audiences. The overwhelming encouragement from fans for my earlier ventures, especially Chaipatti, inspired me to take bold steps in creating and directing unique cinematic experiences. With Baida, we are expanding the universe of unheard and unimaginable stories.”
For the first time, elements of sci-fi and time travel are interwoven into a narrative deeply rooted in the Hindi heartland, a region more commonly associated with romantic comedies and political dramas. Shot extensively near Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, the film authentically integrates the Bhojpuri dialect, offering a refreshing cultural flavor.
Puneet Sharma emphasized, “Indian audiences are increasingly drawn to unconventional and fresh storylines. Chaipatti resonated strongly with viewers, amassing over 1 million views organically across platforms. We’re confident that Baida will strike a chord with cinema lovers who yearn for novel and engaging content.”
The production involved local artisans and sculptors from Gorakhpur, enhancing the authenticity of the art and design. Portions of the movie were also filmed in Delhi, adding a contrasting urban layer to the narrative. The plot centers on an assassin charting an unforeseen path in life, unraveling through a series of events and encounters with extraordinary characters that drive this sci-fi supernatural thriller.
