Vikram Bhatt had earlier planned to make 'Khamoshiyan' as 'Haunted' sequel

New Delhi: Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt says he had originally written "Khamoshiyan" to make a sequel of 2011 "Haunted - 3D".

"Khamoshiyan was my 'Haunted 2'. I wanted to make it as the sequel to ‘Haunted',” Vikram said in a statement.

Vikram had a discussion with Vishesh Films' Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt on making a supernatural film and when he narrated the script to them, they loved it.

“The script was then named ‘Khamoshiyan' and Karan (Darra) became the director of the film. I'm thrilled to see how my script has shaped up and the reaction to the trailer for a non-star cast film is just outstanding,” said Vikram.

Produced by Vishesh Films and presented by Fox Star Studios, "Khamoshiyan" stars Ali Fazal, Gurmeet Choudhary and Sapna Pabbi.

It will release Jan 30, 2015.
