Mumbai, January 18: AVATAR has made many a film makers smell the coffee. While Rakesh Roshan and co. have been heard of putting their plans for KRRISH sequel on hold and thinking of something substantial enough to match the scale and intensity of their Hollywood counterparts, some other film makers are taking it up as a challenge. Producer Sanjay Gupta has taken an early lead and announced his next film with director Suparn Verma (after ACID FACTORY). Belonging to horror genre, this yet untitled ‘live’ film would be made in 3D format. This is not all as the duo wants to use the same technology with which James Cameron created AVATAR and found worldwide recognition coming his way.
Confirms Sanjay Gupta, “With 3D coming into picture, it’s going to be challenge for Suparn as a film maker and exciting for the viewers. It is time to do something completely path breaking with newer technology coming in.”
In 2010 alone, there would be at least two horror flicks that would come out of Bollywood’s, Vikram Bhatt’s SHAAPIT and Ram Gopal Varma’s fantasy PHOONK 2. How does Suparn plan to place his horror saga?
