Vikram Bhatt To Horrify Us Again
By Krishna V. | March 08, 2010
Following Raaz and 1920, Vikram Bhatt is ready to unleash his third horror film, Shaapit. Additionally, as well as sticking to his horror formula, he has also repeated the pattern of casting two newcomers as the leads -- Udit Narayan's son Aditya Narayan and Shweta Agarwal.
Raaz starred relative newcomers Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea, while 1920 brought us Rajneesh Duggal and Adah Sharma.
When asked why he uses newcomers, his reply was, "Simple! They look believable. They look like they need to be protected, which would not be the case if you cast the already-established actors."
It had been expected that Vikram would return to his favourite genre of the suspense-thriller after 1920, however, he has chosen to make another horror film.
"Yes, the subject of Shaapit excited me tremendously. Also, I strongly feel that there's a huge market for horror films, which needs to be tapped by film-makers," Vikram adds.
Look for Shaapit to hit the screens 19th March.
