Foreign actor to feature in 'Raaz 3'

February 7th, 2009

Mumbai (PTI): Bouyed by the success of 'Raaz-The Mystery Continues', producers Vishesh Films have decided to begin work on the third edition of 'Raaz'.

"'Raaz 3' will feature new actors and a fresh story. It will be an international collaboration for production and technical support. An international actor will also be involved," writer-director Mohit Suri said.

Mohit said the film will go on floors next year as the pre-production work will be time consuming and shall be completed in 2009 itself. Mohit said before 'Raaz 3', he will direct a romantic comedy in 2009.

"It's too early to talk about the story and cast. The film will be produced by Vishesh Films," Mohit said. "Raaz-The Mystery Continues" earned Rs 29 crore in the opening week and the response is encouraging even in the third week, the 27-year-old director said.

Earlier, Vishesh films' 'Raaz' in the horror genre, starring Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea released in 2002 was a runaway hit. He said horror film genre always existed but its potential was not rightly tapped.

"India is a land of the mystic. After mainstream commercial films of the horror genre in the 1960s, Ramsay brothers continued to produce horror films, but the genre was relegated to B-grade movies," he said.
