Hunt release: The Bhavana’s horror thriller to hit the big screen on this date

A theatrical release date for the upcoming Malayalam film Hunt has been confirmed by the makers. Originally scheduled to release on August 9, the horror thriller will now open in theatres on August 23. Recently, the movie's teaser—which provides an overview of the story—was revealed. Like the previously released teaser, Bhavana is shown in the latest clip as a forensic specialist who investigates multiple homicides.

What is Hunt all about?

The film centres on Dr Keerthy as she takes on a case at a medical school that proves to be trickier than she anticipated. The teaser also suggests that Bhavana's character experiences paranormal activity on campus, which prompts her to look into the matter further.
