Mumbai: After months of uncertainty and multiple release postponements, filmmaker Amit Dixit’s much-awaited psychological mystery thriller is finally ready to reach audiences under its new title, Navya Chakra.

The recently unveiled first poster carries the intriguing line, “Welcome to the world of PSYCON… we live in a world shared with them,” hinting at a mysterious narrative that explores unseen dimensions and psychological intrigue.
