Chad and Carey Hayes together said: “After the success of ‘The Conjuring’, we are being offered various opportunities to work with the best filmmakers and creative executives that Hollywood has to offer. We are very excited to expand globally. We are more excited to work with Rozam and Vikram Bhatt, two incredibly creative and talented individuals. They strive to make great, scary movies with heart and soul, which parallels our own mandate”.

“Filmmaking is a collaborative process.  To work with the best is an honour. We are excited about ‘The Cello’. It not only ‘plays’ up to everything we love about these type of movies, but also promises a mind-blowing story. It has scares that will chill even the bravest to the bone,” they said.

‘The Cello’ is expected to release later this year.
