MUMBAI: Ace filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, who is well known within the industry circles as a “Horror Specialist,” is set to take forward his hit “Raaz” franchise with its fourth edition “Raaz 4.” According to OneIndia, he will go behind the camera to direct the movie. Bhatt says the cast is yet to be decided.

At the promo launch of “Happy Journey,” when asked if he is directing “Raaz 4,” Vikram said, “Yes, I am. We are still working on the script and the cast is also not decided yet.”

While the first edition of “Raaz” featured Dino Morea, the second and the third sequels had Emraan Hashmi in the lead role. In terms of female leads, Bipasah Basu featured in the original and the third part, while Kangana Ranaut joined the cast of “Raaz 2.”

As far as horror themes are concerned, Vikram has been a trendsetter, with films like “Raaz,” “Raaz 3D,” “1920,” and “Haunted 3D” to his credit.

When asked about the combination of horror and romance in the latest horrex flick “Ragini MMS 2,” Vikram said: “Horror and romance have always gone together as a genre. It has always been, even ‘Raaz’ was that.”

However, more than the lead actress Sunny Leone, Vikram attributes the success of the film to director Bhushan Patel and producer Ekta Kapoor for the success of the film.
