October 23, 2026

Presented by Prashanth Neel, this horror thriller aims to deliver the kind of pure horror experience that fans have been waiting for.

Actress Chaithra Achar’s performance has also attracted attention following the early screenings. Now, the real test is whether the film can maintain that excitement among regular theatre audiences.
Directed by debutant Kirtan Nadagouda and presented by Prashanth Neel, the film stars Chaithra J. Achar, Ramesh Indira, Surya Raj Veerabathini, Charan Lakkaraju, Preethi Pagadala and Shashank Patil. It is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers, marking the production house’s first venture into horror.
The film is released in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and Hindi, aiming to reach horror fans across multiple markets.
Will 418 deliver the genuine horror experience audiences have been waiting for? The early reactions have created curiosity, but the final verdict belongs to the audience.
