Entertainment
Vikram Bhatt, the director behind Raaz and 1920, is celebrating the box office win of Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past.
Even though critics were doubtful, Bhatt says audiences just can't resist a good scare: people come to feel the sensation of fear. They don't come for any actor. This is the genre.
He believes horror fans show up for the thrill, not celebrity names.
