Raaz 3 reflects on fear of falling from stardom: Mahesh

Mumbai: Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has revealed that the movie Raaz 3, which is the latest installment in the Raaz series, is all about the fear of falling down from heights of success. The Bollywood producer says that his upcoming movie may not seem realistic, but it has been sourced out from the heart.

The first trailer of Vikram Bhatt's Raaz 3 was launched in Mumbai on Monday evening, July 30. Talking to PTI, Mahesh Bhatt said, "Every artist is haunted by the fear which follows him. When he reaches stardom, he gets scared of losing it all. He wants to always be at that height. We are all prisoners of fame. Raaz 3 dares to touch this fear which entertainers live with."

The movie, which is set to release on September 7, is story of an actress whose career is on a downfall. Bipasha Basu is playing the lead role in this romantic-horror movie. Mahesh Bhatt calls the film a dangerous cocktail. The producer further said, "The film may not seem realist, but has been sourced out from the heart."

The first trailer of Raaz 3 was released in a spooky ambiance as the cast of the film Emraan Hashmi recited a dialogue and Bipasha Basu made an entry tearing the poster. This film marks the comeback of Bipasha with Bhatt camp and Raaz series. She will be seen portraying emotions of revenge and jealousy in the third part of the film.

Talking about the movie Bipasha Basu said, "We all go through struggle but we choose not to show it. But it is important to address it at times and connect. This is why I agreed to do this character. Initially on the sets of the film, I was lost because the scenes were so intense. I did not know how to reach the character. I haven't allowed myself to feel this way ever. But I had to let it go and finally I did."
