Vicky
Kaushal
is
all
set
for
the
release
of
his
first
horror
flick,
Bhoot
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship.
The
actor
during
an
interview
revealed
the
film
is
actually
based
on
real-life
incidents
that
took
place
on
Mumbai
shores.
During
an
interview
with
Bollywood
Hungama,
Vicky
said
the
film
is
based
on
MV
Wisdom,
that
had
washed
ashore
in
Mumbai
at
the
Juhu
Beach
back
in
June
2011.
It
was
a
9,000-tonne
cargo
ship
found
stranded
on
the
shore
without
being
noticed
by
the
numerous
merchant
liners
and
navies
operating
in
the
Arabian
sea.
Vicky
while
talking
about
the
film's
inspiration,
said,
"When
MV
Wisdom
sailed
into
Juhu
Beach
in
2011,
Bhanu
was
the
guy
who
was
standing
in
a
rickshaw
and
he
was
very
intrigued
by
what
was
there
and
he
went
on
the
beach
to
click
pictures.
I
didn't
go
to
Juhu
Beach
but
obviously,
it
is
an
open
area,
so
while
travelling
or
going
across,
I
had
seen
the
ship
and
I
knew
what
it
was.
I
had
read
it
in
the
papers
also,"
The
abandoned
ship
was
being
towed
from
Colombo
to
Alang
(Gujarat)
when
the
towline
broke
and
the
ship
found
its
way
to
Juhu
beach.
It
stayed
at
Mumbai's
coast
for
three
weeks
before
it
was
finally
towed
away
on
July
2,
2011.
Almost
a
month
later
on
July
30,
another
undetected
ship,
that
was
77-foot-tall
named
MT
Pavit,
washed
up
on
Mumbai
shores
again.
Both
these
incidents
inspired
the
Dharma
Production's
first
horror
film.
Bhoot
Part
One:
The
Haunted
Ship
is
scheduled
to
release
tomorrow,
February
21,
2020.
The
film
also
stars
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Ashutosh
Rana.
