Sequels
and
their
sequels
are
here
to
stay.
First
Munnabhai
MBBS
and
Golmaal,
now
there's
Raaz
which
threatens
to
turn
into
a
Raaz-ma-taz,
what
with
the
second
part
of
the
Bhatt's
spook
saga
getting
an
unexpectedly
solid
opening.
Emraan
Hashmi
who
has
been
lying
low
during
the
publicity,
thanks
to
all
the
focus
on
the
real-life
Kangana
Ranaut-Adhyayan
pair,
says
he
feels
vindicated
by
the
audiences'
response.
"My
wife
kept
telling
me
I
should
try
the
genre.
I
had
never
done
horror
before.
It's
believed
in
the
trade
that
horror
films
open
well
and
then
soon
fizzle
out.
But
then
it
was
also
believed
that
a
film
looking
at
the
seamier
side
of
cricket
(Jannat)
would
never
do
well.
I
like
to
walk
the
lonely
path.
That's
why
you
don't
see
me
at
parties
and
functions.
Maybe
that's
why
I
play
the
part
of
the
loner
and
watch
another
guy
take
away
the
girl
I
love," Emraan
chuckles
drawing
attention
to
his
loser-lover's
role
in
Gangster,
Awarapan
and
now
Raaz-TMC.
And
now,
Emraan
is
all
set
to
return
to
Raaz
-TMC.
After
the
encouraging
opening,
the
team
of
Mahesh
and
Mukesh
Bhatt,
director
Mohit
Suri
and
Emraan
met
to
discuss
the
third
Raaz
movie.
"Yes
we're
on,"
says
Emraan.
"The
third
part
will
be
directed
by
Mohit.
And
I'll
play
the
lead.
The
rest
of
the
details
are
yet
to
be
decided.
The
cast
of
the
second
Raaz
film
was
totally
new.
And
I
think
I'm
going
to
be
the
only
actor
common
to
Raaz
2
and
3."
He
says
he
didn't
feel
left
out
of
the
publicity.
"Kangana
and
Adhyayan
are
a
real-life
couple.
I
can't
concoct
an
affair
just
to
be
noticed.
I
was
confident
my
work
would
speak
for
itself.
Sure
enough
I
believe
people
clap
when
I
come
on
screen
the
first
time.
I
do
have
fan
base,
though
it
might
be
small."
With
two
successes
Jannat
and
Raaz
2,
Emraan
feels
secure
enough
to
start
a
family.
"We're
trying
for
a
baby
and
we
should
be
parents
by
next
year.
One
is
never
prepared
for
fatherhood.
And
if
I
wait
to
be
fully
prepared
it
will
never
happen.
But
I'm
getting
into
the
mindset
now."
