Border 2's success ensured that Ahan Shetty had a great start to 2026. Now, the actor is carefully choosing his next projects. While director Tinu Desai's Sanki will be his next, it looks like Shetty is adding a horror outing to his kitty. We've learnt that the actor has given his nod to Vikram Bhatt's 1920: Cold Winter, the sixth instalment in the 1920 franchise.

Sources have told us that the film is currently at the scripting stage. "This will be Ahan's first brush with the supernatural genre. He wants to do a variety of roles, after being launched in the romantic action drama Tadap [2021]. That's why he is carefully choosing movies that belong to different genres," said a source.

Bhatt and producer Anand Pandit are hunting for the female lead. If things go as planned, the director will call action on the project by November. The source added, "They are looking for a reasonably known actor, not a fresh face. Soon, the producer-director duo will head to Scotland for a recce. Some portions of the film will also be shot in Shimla."

. ‘1920'

. ‘1920: Evil Returns'
