​Horror Genre Is Popular And Audience Friendly Karan Johar

By News Helpline – 4th Feb 2020

Filmmaker and producer Karan Johar who is venturing into horror genre with his forthcoming production Bhoot Part 1, says horror genre is popular worldwide and audience friendly.

 

Dharma productions head honcho Karan Johar along with Shashank Khaitan, Vicky Kaushal and Bhanu Pratap Singh grace the trailer launch of “Bhoot Part 1- The Haunted Ship” in Mumbai.

Talking about venturing into horror genre, Karan Johar said, “Horror genre is popular worldwide and it’s an audience friendly genre but unfortunately it’s made little less in our Indian Cinema. There is template for horror genre films, due to 80’s, 90’s and few in 2000’s horror films. But I have to say and I am not saying it because this is our film, it’s a pure horror film. Apart from a small montage song, we have not relied on songs in the film, there is no titillation in the movie, and it’s a solid story of a horror film”

Interestingly in 2005, Karan Johar had produced Kaal, another horror film starring John Abraham, Vivek Oberoi, Esha Deol and Lara Dutta in lead roles with Ajay Devgn in the lead roles. The film bombed at the box-office.

When asked about what’s different this time around, Karan said, “I think when I saw Kaal, I was not scared and that was a freighting feeling but when I saw Bhoot, my eyes were covered right through the screening. I tend to get over dramatic when I watch horror films and I was scared. And I think what happened in 2005, we should leave it there and move on”  

Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship is directed by Bhanu Pratap Singh, also starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ashutosh Rana in the lead roles. It is based on a true accident that took place in Mumbai, and tells the story of a couple on an abandoned ship lying static on a beach.

It is the first film of a planned horror film franchise. The film releases on 21st Feb 2020.
