"I
am
very
excited
because
I
am
coming
after
a
long
time
as
I
had
a
baby.
Now
my
baby
is
a
little
older
and
I
have
come
back
with
quite
an
interesting
film," said
the
actress
who
gave

"This
is
the
first
time
I
am
doing
horror
and
I
am
collaborating
with
some
great
people
like
Vishal,
Ekta,
Huma

so
I
am
very
excited
about
it," she

"There
is
so
much
collaboration
with
such
great
talent
together...
like
who
wouldn't
want
to
work
with
Vishalji?
I
really
want
to
work
with
Balaji
(Ekta's
Balaji

Pictures)
as
well.
Besides,
my
father
has
written
a
short
story
20
years
ago
on
which
the
film
is
based
upon,"
added
the
actress

last
full-fledged
role
was
in

The
33-year-old,
not
willing
to
reveal
much
about
her
character
in
the
film,
said,
" My
relationship
with
Emraan
is
a
very
mysterious
thing.
Emraan
has
to
deal
with
evils
on
many
levels
and
that's
it.
I
am
not
allowed
to
talk
about
it."
