Mahesh Bhatt: Today Bipasha is not as safe as she was 10 years ago!

Mahesh Bhatt’s upcoming film ‘Raaz 3’, which is slated to hit the cinemas on September 7, will feature Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles. The film is partly based on Bipasha’s life and it shows how a model-turned actress starts facing competition from the younger lot in the tinsel town.

“The need for Bollywood stories is enormous, people are enchanted with it. There is a reality of the industry that we know. We have given the film a horror idiom by including black magic. The story is very much true,” Bhatt said in an interview.

“It also coincides with Bipasha Basu’s life where she is feeling the breath of extinction as the younger girls have come in who may elbow her out. Today Bipasaha is not as safe as she was 10 years ago when she came into the industry,” he said.

Vidya Balan’s starrer ‘The Dirty Picture’, which broke many box office records last year, had almost the same storyline and Kareena Kapoor’s much-anticipated upcoming film ‘Heroine’ also appears to be similar, as it too focuses on the rise and fall of a model.

However, the major difference in ‘Raaz 3’, whose tag line is ‘When desire becomes evil’, is this that Bhatts have put an element of black magic in it and it will show how a turbulent actress, Bipasha, begins to turn to black magic to destroy a budding star (Esha) and gets back the man she loves (Emraan Hashmi).

While sharing thoughts with the media, the director of the movie Vikram Bhatt, insisted that there are many examples in Bollywood when people in the industry have conned or gone to the extent of killing their associates in order to gain success.

Initially Sri Lankan model, Jacqueline Fernandez, was supposed to play the role but she walked out of the movie because she had some reservations with the kind of clothes that Bhatt wanted her to wear.

Well, all said and done, let’s see how much money ‘Raaz 3’ generates at the box office.
