Vikram Bhatt: No Point In Aping Hollywood Horror Films

The 47-year-old filmmaker, Vikram Bhatt, is well-known for his B-town horror movies. In a career spanning over 25 years, Vikram has delivered innumerable blockbusters. He is currently busy in the filming of his forthcoming project ‘Raaz Reboot’.

At a promotional event of 'Raaz Reboot' last evening, Vikram said, “Our horror films have always been the romanticizing of horror. We always had love stories, emotions, music. Whether it is ‘Mahal’, ‘Kohra’, ‘Bees Saal Baad’…That is the culture of our films. ‘Raaz’ belongs to the culture of Indian horror films. If we are to make ‘Conjuring’, then people say, ‘Oh this is Conjuring’.”

“We have to stick to the art form that we are. We are the romanticizing art form. If the ‘Conjuring’ audience doesn’t want to see it, then too bad. But we are not going to change for it,” he further added. The director’s upcoming flick ‘Raaz Reboot’ is set to release on September 16 in a box-office clash with megastar Amitabh Bachchan-led thriller ‘Pink’.
