Vikram
Bhatt
is
ready
to
unleash
his
third
horror
film
Shaapit,
after
Raaz
and
1920.
This
time,
like
Raaz
and
1920,
the
film
stars
two
newcomers
in
principal
leads
-
Udit
Narayan's
son
Aditya
Narayan
and
Shweta
Agarwal.
Ironically,
Raaz
also
starred
relative
newcomers
Bipasha
Basu
and
Dino
Morea,
while
1920
marked
the
debut
of
Rajneesh
Duggal
and
Adah
Sharma.
Why
this
penchant
for
newcomers?
"Simple!
They
look
believable.
They
look
like
they
need
to
be
protected,
which
would
not
be
the
case
if
you
cast
the
already-established
actors," Vikram
reasons.
Frankly,
everyone
thought
that
Vikram
would
move
on
to
his
favourite
genre
-
suspense-thriller
-
after
1920,
but
he
chose
to
make
a
horror
film
again.
"Yes,
the
subject
of
Shaapit
excited
me
tremendously.
Also,
I
strongly
feel
that
there's
a
huge
market
for
horror
films,
which
needs
to
be
tapped
by
film-makers,"
Vikram
adds.
Shaapit
hits
the
screens
on
March
19.
Will
it
prove
a
hat-trick
for
this
talented
film-maker,
let's
wait
and
watch!
