With stories that defy expectations yet remain emotionally grounded, producer Suraj Singh continues to carve a distinctive space in Indian cinema. This vision becomes especially evident in his upcoming film, Rahu Ketu. The project is a high-concept fantasy drama that seamlessly blends imagination, scale, and deeply human emotions.
A Fresh and Fearless Take on Fantasy
Instead of following familiar mythological templates, Suraj Singh consciously takes a different route with Rahu Ketu. Rather than relying on established formulas, he focuses on building a cinematic universe that feels fresh, immersive, and strongly narrative-driven. As a result, the film promises striking visuals while ensuring emotion remains at the core. For Singh, fantasy should enhance the story, not overshadow it.
“Emotion Is the True Anchor”
When it comes to high-concept cinema, Singh believes complexity should never exist for its own sake.
“Fantasy works when it feels emotionally real, even if the world isn’t,” he explains.
Moreover, he feels audiences may be drawn to theatres by scale and spectacle, but it is emotion that keeps them invested. Feelings such as fear, love, hope, and conflict make even the most fantastical worlds relatable. Consequently, this emotional connection gives films lasting recall value and helps them resonate well beyond opening weekend.
Rahu Ketu Cast and Release Date
Meanwhile, Rahu Ketu, produced by Blive Productions, is slated for release on 16 January. The film is directed by Vipul Vig, best known as the creator of Fukrey. In addition, the ensemble cast features Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Shalini Pandey, Amit Sial, and Piyush Mishra.
Suraj Singh’s Leadership at Blive Productions
Beyond Rahu Ketu, Suraj Singh continues to strengthen Blive Productions with content-driven cinema. Alongside leading the banner, he also heads the TV, Films, and International Business divisions at Balaji Telefilms. Under his leadership, Blive delivered critically appreciated films such as Salaam Venky, directed by Revathy and starring Kajol, Vishal Jethwa, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Aamir Khan.
Furthermore, the banner’s upcoming slate includes Ajey, directed by Ravindra Gautam and featuring Paresh Rawal and Anant Joshi.
A Strong and Lasting Bollywood Legacy
In addition to his work at Blive, Singh has served as executive producer on major Bollywood successes like Ek Villain, Ragini MMS 2, Shootout at Wadala, Ek Thi Daayan, and The Dirty Picture. He has also been associated as producer on M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Half Girlfriend, and A Flying Jatt.
Ultimately, with Rahu Ketu, Suraj Singh once again reinforces his belief that even the most ambitious fantasy stories work best when they remain emotionally authentic.
