With
the
upcoming
monster
thriller
sci-fi
film
'Creature
3D',
actress
Bipasha
Basu
today
said
they
were
creating
a
new
genre
in
the
Indian
film
industry.
"This
is
the
first
in
the
business
here.
We
have
done
a
lot
of
genres
like
romance,
comedy,
horror,
drama,
etc
but
doing
a
creature
feature
film
is
a
step
forward," Basu
told.
She
said
Hollywood
has
films
like
'Jurassic
Park' and
'Anaconda'
series
but
a
film
based
on
such
creatures
was
missing
in
Hindi
films.
"We
have
loved
what
the
West
has
done
in
the
genre.
The
kids
have
loved
it
in
particular.
And
this
film
is
made
completely
by
Indian
technicians
and
I
would
say
that
we
are
at
par
with
the
West," Basu
said.
Directed
by
Vikram
Bhatt,
the
film
releases
this
Friday.
Unlike
Hollywood
films
in
the
genre,
the
actress
said,
'Creature'
was
rooted
in
Indian
sensibilities
as
the
monster
in
the
film
was
a
Hindu
mythological
character
called
'Brahma
Rakshsah'.
Having
done
a
number
of
films
like
the
'Raaz'
series
and
'Aatma',
Basu
said
the
genre
was
not
exploited
well
in
the
country.
"In
the
West,
the
supernatural
genre
is
very
big.
I
like
selling
or
promoting
a
new
genre," the
35-year-old
said
recalling
that
the
shooting
was
very
difficult
because
the
monster
was
made
digitally
after
the
shooting
was
complete.
"There
was
11
months
of
post-production
where
the
monster
was
created
bit
by
bit,"
she
said.
When
asked
about
working
in
Bengali
films,
she
said
she
was
offered
a
film
by
Bengali
director
Srijit
Mukherjee
but
she
could
not
do
it
because
of
date
problems.
"But
I
have
told
him
that
I
want
to
act
in
his
films," the
actress
who
was
brought
up
in
Kolkata
said.
