One of the popular Bollywood industry’s filmmakers Vikram Bhatt has faced the changing times in B-town. Where it is a 3D technology to films or venturing into the digital space, he has always been ahead of the curve.The legend filmmaker will complete his 25 years in the film industry by this year. He started with the movie Jaanam and then went on to direct several films, but his first major success came in the form of the erotic horror film Raaz, starring actors Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea.
Bhatt reveals that many people had initially dissuaded him from making the film. “When I had conceptualized Raaz, many told me that making a horror film was a bad idea. But it turned out to be the opposite. Similar was the case with 3D films such as Haunted (2011), and Creature (2014), which did not do well at the box office, but was a good film.”
When the filmmaker questioned about his view upon horror genre he replied “People who make comedy films all the time are never asked why they make such films. Similar is the case with production houses who only sell love in their films. I like peddling fear. Also, today, people won’t go to enjoy their favorite sensations — be it happy, sad or thrilled — minus a good story. A Shah Rukh Khan or an Aamir Khan in a film doesn’t guarantee success.”As his last movie Raaz Reboot couldn't get much attention from the audience at the box office, he is now an office, he is now busy with his web series Hadh.
