Mumbai, Jan 14 (ANI): The cast and crew of upcoming flick 'Raaz-The Mystery Continues', which is being touted as the costliest horror film made so far in Bollywood, promoted the movie at an event here.
The film is produced by Mukesh Bhatt, directed by Mohit Suri and stars actors Emraan Hashmi, Adhyayan Suman and Kangna Ranaut.
The film is inspired by Indian myths and legends and is said to be biggest budget horror film ever been made in the country.
Dispelling any resemblance, the earlier Bollywood flick 'Raaz' which in many ways super headed the birth of experimental cinema within Bollywood making the world of supernatural fair game for Indian film-makers and combined horror with romance, Bollywood actor, Suman said that the narrative of this film was very different.
"This film is completely different, the star cast is different, the director is different and everything about the film is different. There is no similarity between the earlier 'Raaz' and this 'Raaz'," said Suman.
The film essays the story of an artist Prithvi, who experiences mysterious and distressing visions about Nandita, a woman he has never met, while he paints on canvas.
Intrigued by these visions, Prithvi tracks her down and warns her that these are not merely paintings of her, but accidents that are waiting to happen.
Initially, Nandita refuses to believe him but the striking resemblance between Prithvi's paintings and the near - death incidents in her life is hard to ignore.
Kangna who is also Suman's love interest in real life these days said that they have portrayed the emotions demanded by the script on screen keeping their personal chemistry at bay.
"The chemistry of the characters that we have portrayed in this film was according to the demand of the script. We have not portrayed the chemistry of the lovers like we are in the real life. I think the way Adhyayan treats me in real life is very personal," said Kangna.
Bollywood lyrics writer Sayeed Qadri and Kumaar have penned the lyrics of the film. Te music is composed by Toshi, Sharib Sabri, Raju Singh and Gourov Dasgupta.
Plethora of Bollywood singers like Toshi, K.K, Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghosal and Neeraj Shridhar have lent their voice to the songs of the film.
The film is slated for January 23 release. (ANI)

Mallika Sherawat out of Cabaret

Pooja Bhatt is determined to replace the actress with a newcomer

Despite delivering a superhit like Murder in 2004, the Bhatts and Mallika Sherawat continue to share a love-hate relationship and have never worked together again. Mallika babe had dissociated herself from the Bhatt camp after the success of Murder because of their stingy attitude. She had apparently turned down the films they had offered (Tumsa Nahi Dekha, Gangster) when they paid no attention to her demand for a fat pay packet.
But things were meant to get better when Mallika had agreed on principle to do a Pooja Bhatt production a few months back. This film, titled Cabaret, was to be the directorial debut of Pooja's in-house writer, Shagufta Rafique.
Pooja wanted to start the film in early 2009, so recently the actress-turned-filmmaker went to Mallika to work out the schedule. But she was in for a rude shock when Mallika quoted a very high price again, more than what they had earlier agreed upon. Known for her bluntness, Pooja gave back a mouthful to Mallika stating how she didn't deserve even half of what she was asking for after two back-to-back solo flops. The filmmaker left in a huff, saying that she would rather make the film with a rank newcomer. News is that Pooja has now begun auditioning new girls for the same role.

Katrina shows who's number one

At a jewellery launch, Kaif showed the poise of a true star


You would have expected Katrina Kaif to fumble or search for words when she was asked about her 'look-alikes' who Salman Khan was promoting. But without batting an eyelid, the star replied, "That's so sweet of him!" adding that she hadn't seen them and was quite sure they were good looking.
Katrina faced the media at a plush Mumbai hotel where a prominent jewellery brand launched a new television commercial featuring her. The brand, which Aishwarya Rai Bachchan endorsed initially, chose Kaif as their 'Goddess of Luck' because 'she has been the lucky mascot of Bollywood with almost all her films proving successful'.
Needless the media, hungry for some controversy, quizzed her about stepping into Ash's shoes. Instead of evading the question, Kaif smilingly reminded the members of the press that they need not make a mountain out of a molehill. "There was someone endorsing it before me and someone will step in after me too," she pointed out.IN PICS: Katrina makes Nakshatra chief happy!
Question after controversial question, Katrina answered with the poise of a star and showed just why she is one of the most promising new number one leading lady.
Kaif who has always been a bit of controversy's child also replied to questions about her association with Akshay Kumar. The two were reportedly linked after many of their films began to do well at the box office. This liaison was also supposed to be the reason behind the alleged rift between her and Salman Khan.
Facing the media at the launch however, Katrina Kaif showed that she didn't need Salman Khan to become successful.
Kaif, who has Yash Raj's New York lined up for release refused to comment on the film since 'Yash Raj is very specific about the way they promote their films'. The star is also said to act opposite Shah Rukh Khan in a venture to be directed by veteran Yash Chopra.
Katrina is also starring in five other films with some of the most enviable banners. And with some high profile brands now coming her way it certainly seems like the new number one is finally here.
