Among the notable attendees were filmmaker Kabir Khan and his wife Mini Mathur, who added a calm but elegant presence to the high-energy screening evening. The event also saw television’s beloved couple Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee making a joint appearance, drawing attention from fans and photographers alike.
The guest list continued with OTT favourites Shweta Tripathi and Chaitanya Sharma, who arrived together, keeping the evening grounded yet fashionable. Adding a youthful pop presence was singer Dhvani Bhanushali, while actress Anjali Sivaraman and Harshita Gaur also made stylish appearances, contributing to the event’s rising buzz.
At the heart of it all is Backrooms, the much-talked-about psychological horror film backed by global studio A24. Directed by viral 20-year-old creator Kane Parsons, the movie expands on the internet-born horror mythology that first captivated audiences as a surreal, liminal-space nightmare on YouTube.
The India rollout has seen a strategic shift, with distributor PVR INOX Pictures pushing the release from May 29 to June 12, 2026. The delay was reportedly planned to strengthen experiential marketing efforts and build immersive preview events that match the film’s unsettling tone and visual identity.
What makes these screenings stand out is not just the celebrity presence, but the atmosphere itself. Designed to reflect the unsettling world of Backrooms, the events lean into dim lighting, disorienting spaces, and an immersive vibe that mirrors the film’s psychological tension. Guests reportedly find themselves stepping into an experience that feels more like a narrative teaser than a conventional movie premiere.
With anticipation building rapidly, Backrooms is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing horror releases of the year in India. The combination of internet-origin storytelling, Hollywood backing, and strong local promotional energy has turned its screening circuit into a full-blown entertainment moment.
