Earlier
today
(February
3,
2020),
Karan
Johar,
Bhanu
Pratap
Singh
and
Vicky
Kaushal
unveiled
the
trailer
of
Bhoot
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship
and
while
talking
to
the
reporters
at
the
trailer
launch,
KJo
said
that
he
was
blown
away
by
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
generosity
in
giving
them
the
title
of
Bhoot.
For
the
unversed,
in
2003,
RGV
had
directed
a
film
titled
Bhoot
featuring
Urmila
Matondkar.
Karan
said,
"Bhoot
was
the
correct
title
for
this
film
but
we
didn't
have
it.
I
thought
'at
maximum,
I'd
hear
a
no
from
him
(Varma)
but
let
me
call
him'.
And
I
was
just
blown
by
his
generosity.
I
called
him
and
I
spoke
to
him
and
he
was
like,
'Yeah,
take
it
and
whatever
paperwork
you
will
need,
just
let
me
know.'"
He
further
added,
"It
was
like
in
two
seconds
that
he
gave
me
the
title.
I've
been
in
this
industry
for
25
years
but
I
haven't
seen
this
kind
of
generosity
before."
At
the
same
event,
Karan
also
stated
that
he
would
like
to
turn
the
movie
into
franchise
and
said,
"Horror
is
a
popular,
audience
friendly
genre.
It's
not
made
much
in
our
Indian
cinema.
A
template
for
horror
films
has
been
created.
But
our
film
is
pure
horror,
we
haven't
used
any
song,
there's
just
one
small
montage,
there's
no
titillation.
It's
a
solid
storytelling
of
a
horror
film."
"This
is
a
first
of
its
kind.
I
am
grateful
that
Vicky
headlined
the
film
with
us
because
that
gives
us
a
lot
of
confidence
that
such
films
can
be
made.
We
want
to
take
this
franchise
ahead."
Bhoot
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship
is
scheduled
to
be
released
on
February
21.
