Suri says Raaz... rooted in Indian mythology 
The intertwining of good and evil, as portrayed in Indian mythology, has inspired director Mohit Suri's latest
horror flick 'Raaz', The Mystery Continues, trailers of which were released recently. "Mystic saint Kabir used to
say that the greatest evils are inside you. Indian mythology also talks about a good side and bad side of human
beings and my film portrays just that," Suri said.
The young director is confident that the musical would pave a way for future horror films in Bollywood. "Our
horror films are always made on a small budget. Even 'Raaz', which was a box office success, was made with
small budget and a brand new star cast. Filmmakers in India are still not confident enough to explore this genre.
But my film is going to change this perception," he says.
The director feels that horror films in India are remakes of western concepts, which has not done much good to
the genre. "Raaz... is deeply rooted in the Indian mythological concept and I hope that audiences will identify
with the story," the director says. Suri, who has directed films like Zeher, Awaarapan and Kalyug, is
experimenting with horror for the first time. "It has been a difficult but completely enjoyable process for me," he
says. 'Raaz' The Mystery Continues stars Kangana Ranaut, Emraan Hashmi and Adhyayan Suman. |
