Vishesh Films

Having acquired the official rights of the Spanish Film La Cara Oculta directed by Andrés Baiz, Fox Star Studios and Vishesh Films are ready with a remake of the same in the form of their forthcoming release <em>Murder 3</em>.

Vishesh Films has signed noted Pakistani crooner Mustafa Zahid for a third soundtrack. Confirming the same Mahesh Bhatt says, "The rise and rise and rise of Mustafa Zahid......this is our third film with the enigmatic, cross-border talent who is the driving force of the Roxen band. Like all his previous renditions, we're certain that the 'additional' number which he has contributed to <em>Murder 3</em> is all set to become a sure shot chartbuster."

After raising the temperature with Sunny Leone for their erotic thriller Jism 3 in Sri Lanka, Randeep Hooda is now shooting with another temptress on the beaches of South Africa for <em>Murder</em> 3 being directed by Mukesh Bhatt’s son Vishesh. But, who is the mysterious babe adorning Hooda’s hyper-libidinous screen persona? The Bhatts have kept the new Murder mademoiselle’s identity under wraps. Even when the girl left for shooting with Randeep and the crew, no one had a clue about her identity.

Thought Raaz 3 is ready for release next week, but director Vikram Bhatt is still working on the film’s post-production. Though the film was censored earlier this week and passed without cuts for adult viewing, the director came to know that there’s still work to be done on the film. This, after a technical screening of the film with the cast and crew recently.

The Bhatts, Mukesh and Mahesh Bhatt are getting ready for what promises to be one of the most lavish celebrations ever seen in the Indian entertainment industry. To celebrate 25 years of existence of the Bhatts’ banner Vishesh Films the Bhatts are planning a jamboree designed like the opening of <em>Mera Naam Joker</em> where all the people who made a difference to the protagonist’s life were invited under the same roof.

Veteran film producer Mukesh Bhatt (Vishesh Films) has snubbed the latest Rs 100 crore film club. “It’s a creation by sections of the media to help spread a feel-good factor for their constituencies,” Bhatt quipped. But some films have been collecting Rs 100 crore? “Don’t mix up two things. Which film actually ends up making Rs 100 cores for its makers? These figures comprise deducted entertainment tax, gross collections and 20 per cent distributors share etc.
