After the success of "Lust Stories" on Netflix, filmmakers Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee, and Anurag Kashyap are set to reunite to tell spine-chilling tales through the streaming giant's "Ghost Stories".

The anthology will be produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP and Ashi Dua, the Netflix said in a press release Monday.

"With Netflix we have a partner who complements the strain in RSVP's DNA - to lean into risk when it comes to bold content narratives and creative freedom. Just as 'Lust Stories' resonated around the world, we are aiming for 'Ghost Stories' and many more stories and sequels from India to connect with audiences in Asia and around the world," Screwvala said.

"Ghost Stories" is one of the 10 new Netflix Indian original films that the streamer announced.

Besides horror, the projects are set across a range of subjects and genres including drama, sci-fi, thriller, comedy and romance.

"Class of '83", produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and directed by Atul Sabharwal, explores the story of an upright policeman-turned-trainer whose students grapple with the complexities of honour, morals and devotion to the nation.

"Mrs Serial Killer", directed by Shirish Kunder and backed by Farah Khan, is a thriller. When her husband is framed and imprisoned for serial murders, a doting wife must perform a murder exactly like the serial killer, to prove her husband innocent.

Produced by Karan Johar and directed by Ruchi Narain, "Guilty" explores the versions of truth that emerge when a small town girl accuses the college heart throb of rape. Seen through the eyes of his musician girlfriend, this story makes us question who is really accused in a circumstance like this.

"Yeh Ballet", directed by Sooni Taraporevala and produced by Roy Kapur Films, is a story about two boys from very low income families who discover ballet and through it a way to escape their challenging circumstances. Over the course of the film, the unlikely ballerinas find that escape is not as easy as they thought
