Vikram Bhatt Discusses Cinema's Future and Horror Film 'Haunted 3D' ReceptionPreviousNext

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt discussed the evolving future of cinema, predicting advanced technologies like watching films with eyes closed via neural implants, though he does not expect to witness these changes himself. Meanwhile, his recent horror film 'Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past,' starring Mimoh Chakraborty, has performed well at the box office despite mixed reviews on its visual effects. Industry experts and actors highlight horror's appeal as a communal theatrical experience, with Bhatt announcing a new installment, '1920: Cold Winter,' continuing his focus on the genre.
