January 31st, 2011 - 9:44 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
Film maker Vikram Bhatt is reportedly going to be back with a bang this year with some real horror thrown in in his upcoming project on the small screen which will have a horror based series coming up on channel colors. The series tentatively titled ‘Andhera’ is going to be the ultimate in scaring the daylights out of people who dare to watch it.
Now after the great success of the serial Queen Ekta Kapoor’s ghost adventures in the serial ‘Koi Aane Ko Hai’, this series by Vikram Bhatt is certainly going to be completely based on horror stories but the similarities end there. According to reports, Vikram Bhatt has said that his series is not going to have the same take on ghosts as was taken by Ekta Kapoor’s team. The director is sure to bring about his own flavor to the series and it shall be more horrifying and is sure to scare the viewer to a great extent.
The series which is going to be aired on Colors has not yet been allotted a time slot as of yet but it is being touted as being given the late night time slot, which is when horror stories are generally aired, in order to keep kids out of the viewership circle in this category.
However, not one to leave the big screen alone, the director is to release his movie titled Haunted on the 15th of April, this film has been shot in 3D to give the real feel of ghosts and the surreal world of eerie creatures to the audiences. Vikram Bhatt who is all set to scare audiences with ghosts says that he himself is not at all scared of these creatures. Rather, it is the human beings around him that are scarier!
