The entire cast and crew was present at the event, including leading man Mahakshay Chakraborty, who’s reverted back to his real name after his stint as Mimoh proved disastrous. (Remember ‘Jimmy’?) Looking dapper sans his trademark mane, Mahaksay commented on the terrific and terrifying times he had on set.
He said, “My experience was out of this world. Because the film is in 3D, we had to take every shot in detail. It was a very hectic job. We had to do a lot of retakes. But it was amazing. Vicky Sir would scare me by just explaining the shot. It was mind boggling.”
When asked if the legendary ‘Disco Dancer’ had any words of advice for him, Mahakshay replied, “My dad hasn’t given me any tips for this film. In fact, he didn’t even come for the shooting as he was very busy with his own schedule.”
Joining Mahakshay in this spine chilling adventure is singer turned actress Tia Bajpai, who must have had quite a tough time on sets, considering she gets the scares easily. She told members of the media present at the event, “Even if I see a horror movie, I sleep with the lights on.”
With ‘Haunted 3D’, Vikram Bhatt returns to his favourite genre. The scribe tribe questioned Vikram on what phantasmal power draws the director of hair raisers such as ‘Raaz’ and ’1920′ back to horror. His reply? “I feel safe with spirits, because you know they’re scary. What scare me are people, because you don’t know what they are.”
