Karan Johar Ram Gopal Varma

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is a master strategist and is always looking for innovation. Earlier today, he announced his new horror franchise ‘Bhoot: Part One – The Haunted Ship’ starring Vicky Kaushal in the lead role. Now, KJo has expressed his gratitude towards Ram Gopal Varma.

The title of the film is the same as Ram Gopal Varman’s 2001 film ‘Bhoot’, which starred Urmila Matondkar and Ajay Devgn. So, before using the title, Karan sought permission from Ram Gopal Varma. This horror franchise also stars Bhumi Pednekar.

The ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ director said, “I made an unreasonable request to Ramu, asking him for his franchise title ‘BHOOT’ and he graciously and magnanimously agreed to give it to us without even blinking an eyelid. All of us at Dharma are blown away by his generosity and are eternally grateful to him. We aspire to make sure the title is in the right hands of horror.”

KJo earlier shared the poster and wrote, “Presenting #Bhoot : Part One – The Haunted Ship! The FIRST in the franchise, starring the supremely talented @vickykaushal09, directed by @bhanu.singh.91. Sailing towards you on 15th November, 2019. @apoorva1972 @shashankkhaitan @dharmamovies”
