Having helmed several horror movies in his career, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt is all set to return to the genre with 1921, starring Zareen Khan. The film is set in a school of music in North London and will feature the Hate Story 3 star as a music student.“As of now we have finalised only Zareen, she is playing the female lead. We are looking for one male actor for the other role. I liked her in Hate Story 3 and I genuinely believe she is the most undervalued actress we have,” Bhatt told PTI.“1920 films are set in a period time zone and they require a certain body type for actors. The body type, body language should be such that they look right in any era. Zareen, that way, is timeless. She is perfect for the role,” he said.The Love Games director wrote the recently released 1920 London, the third instalment in the 1920 franchise and will kick start his own banner – It (the film) is like 1920 2.0. There is nothing wrong with the 1920 franchise, but I thought why not better it. In the last two parts, there was less romance as compared to the first one. 1921 will have strong romance and love story,” he said.The 47-year-old director had also helmed 1920 and wrote 1920 Evil Returns and 1920 London, which starred Sharman Joshi.The filmmaker, who has worked in horror franchise like Raaz and has been associated with films like Haunted 3D, Shaapit and Creature 3D, says his new movie will focus more on ‘grabbing your heart’ along with ‘great scares.’The film will go on floors this November and will release in 2017.
