Vikram Bhatt directed Sushmita Sen in her very first film Dastak. What followed was a tumultuous relationship followed by a rather amicable breakup. Vikram never really lost touch with Sushmita and has admitted she holds a very special place in his life to this day. It therefore comes as no surprise that Vikram is set to cast her in his most expensive and ambitious project to date. After three back-to-back supernatural thrillers, Vikram is ready to make India’s first 3-D horror film, to be titled Yama Dwar.
Says Vikram, “How long can I go on tapping the genre in its given format? So I’m doing a 3-D horror film. The concept of the door to the other word is a part of Hindu mythology. I’m ready to tackle the subject on cinema - it has never been done before. But it has to be done on a lavish scale.” The technical expertise, says Vikram, will have to be imported. As for the casting, Vikram says, “It is an out-and-out female-centric film. I need a strong, assertive, beautiful actress who is in touch with her spiritual side.” And who better than Sush, right Vikram? After all you know too well how strong she is... ok folks stop imagining; we meant it in terms of character and moral strength.
