Curry Barker, the 26-year-old filmmaker behind the psychological horror hit Obsession, is making waves on social media with his select following list. Among the three Indians he follows are actors Kartik Aaryan and Riccha Sinha, and filmmaker Kushaal Chawla.
Kartik Aaryan was one of the first Bollywood celebrities to publicly champion Barker's hit track Obsession, calling it 'one of the best horror films after a very long time.'
Riccha Sinha, a Lucknow-born actor, recently landed the lead role in a British psychological thriller directed by Lucas. She spoke about the opportunity, saying, 'It was just a stroke of luck.'
Kushaal Chawla, an independent filmmaker, has been building a reputation in the indie circuit, securing international festival nods and carving out a distinct space for himself in India's evolving global cinema landscape.
Barker's directorial debut, Obsession, was made on a modest budget of around $750,000 and has transformed into a massive global phenomenon. He is currently working on his next feature film, Anything But Ghosts, for horror powerhouse Blumhouse, and is attached to direct a Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot for A24.
