Vikram Bhatt is known for making horror films especially the Raaz franchise. He has directed Raaz, Raaz 3, and Raaz Reboot (Raaz 4). Fans of the franchise have been eagerly waiting to know when the fifth instalment of the franchise will be happening.
We recently met Vikram Bhatt and asked him when Raaz 5 is going to happen. To which the filmmaker said, “Raaz is not my franchise, it is Mukesh Bhatt’s franchise, and I think even if Raaz 5 is happening I am not doing it.”
Vikram Bhatt has worked with Bipasha Basu in many films like Raaz, Footpath, Aetbaar, Raaz 3D and Creature 3D. When we asked him if he is planning to collaborate with Bipasha again, Bhatt said, “I would definitely want to work with Bipasha. But, on a personal level, I see myself taking some time off because I have been working non-stop for working more than 35 years without a break.”
“I have missed a lot of personal things. I see my parents are growing old, I see my daughter has become of marriageable age, and I have realised I have not spend any time with them. So, my next project is creating memories with my loved ones, and then perhaps I will start something,” the filmmaker added.
A few days ago, Raaz completed 18 years of its release. Bipasha had posted on Instagram, “Time really flies! The love that I recieved for this film ,from all of you is still humbling?Truly grateful ? #18yearsofraaz.”
Vikram Bhatt is currently busy with the promotions of his next directorial Hacked. The film stars Hina Khan, Rohan Shah, Mohit Malhotra, and Sid Makkar. It is slated to hit the screens on 7th February 2020.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
