Vikram Bhatt's Bipasha Basu-Emraan Hashmi-Esha Gupta starrer Raaz 3 is set to release next week. However, the director is still busy working on the film's post-production.
Although the film was censored earlier this week and passed without cuts for an 'A' certificate, Vikram decided upon doing more work on the film. He took this decision after a technical screening of the film for the cast and crew on Sunday evening.
Confirming this recent development, Vikram was quoted saying that the film is complete and censored but a little bit of work is left of the special effects. He added that since Raaz 3 is the first 3D film for Vishesh Films, he wants it to be as polished in technique as possible.
Raaz 3 is set to hit the screens on September 7.
Taking inspiration from the Rani Mukerji-Vidya Balan film No One Killed Jessica, director Vikram Bhatt is set to make a film on the same lines with a different subject.
The film will be set on the subject of medical negligence. It is about a boy who dies on the operation table. The film titled Ankur Arora Murder Case is based on a real life incident.
No One Killed Jessica is a reference point for this film because even there it is shown how an innocent girl was killed and not given justice.
The Ankur Arora case, however, did not find as much social awakening as Jessica Lall's did.
The film is set to star Arjun Mathur in the lead along with Kay Kay Menon, Vishakha Singh and Tisca Chopra. Paoli Dam, who was last seen in Vikram Bhatt's Hate Story, will also play a pivotal part in the film.
Sources claim that Suhail Tatari would be directing the film.
Vikram Bhatt is gearing up for the release of his forthcoming film Raaz 3 and the director has revealed that the horror flick is based on true rumours.
"I have heard a lot about many actors and actresses, that they practice dark magic but obviously these are all hearsay as we have never seen anyone actually doing it but then, I don't even chit chat with ghosts (laughs)," said Bhatt at a press conference.
On being asked if he believes whether people from the industry practice black magic, Vikram said, "The film is based on true rumours. There are some rumours which we found interesting and especially Bollywood is a place where success and fame is so transitory, sometimes it's there, other times it's not, so definitely there is a lot of jealousy among people and in all this, people may use black magic."
Raaz 3 stars Bipasha Basu, Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta in the lead roles and is slated to release on September 7, 2012.
Director Vikram Bhatt, who had showcased his affair with Sushmita Sen in the 2006 film Ankahee, will now be portraying his relationship with actress Ameesha Patel in his upcoming film Raaz 3.
Buzz is that Bipasha Basu's character in the film is based on Ameesha, with whom he split in 2008.
Director Vikram Bhatt was recently quoted saying that when Ameesha met him, she was a star and when they parted ways, she was not.
Raaz 3, starring Bipasha Basu, Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta, is set to release on September 7.
