Closet Actor Vikram Bhatt

Vikram Bhatt may be known for his skills as a director, especially for Ghulam, Raaz, and 1920, but very few people know that he is an actor par excellence. And that explains why most of his actors, although fresh, manage to deliver convincing performances.

The source of this well-kept secret is none other than singer-turned-actor, Aditya Narayan, who debuts in Bhatt’s next film, Shaapit. According to Aditya, Bhatt would enact each and every scene of the movie to show his actors how it should be done. “I am grateful to Vikram for that,” says Aditya, “because I am still learning the craft. It was his constant guidance that helped me perform better. All credit goes to Vikram.”

In fact, Aditya has become so fond of Vikram that he would want to work with him more often in the future. “He’s an excellent teacher,” Aditya justifies.

Shaapit completes Vikram Bhatt’s trilogy of horror flicks. The movie has Aditya Narayan and Shweta Agarwal in the lead, and is due for release on March 19. And if you find out that Vikram Bhatt has opened up an acting school, remember, you heard about his talent here first!
