Khauf, an intense, eight-part suspense horror series, has just released its spine-chilling trailer.

Smita promises that Khauf will deliver an unyielding horror experience, setting it apart from the norm. She adds, “Rooted in realism, we’ve seamlessly intertwined it with the surreal to the point where it becomes indistinguishable. The fear in the mind and the danger in the world converge. It’s primal, visceral. This evolution—moving beyond just thrills to evoke profound dread—was missing. That’s the niche Khauf is poised to fill.”
