Emraan Hashmi is all set to open up his ‘Raaz’ to the audience this November. We are talking about Emraan’s upcoming venture ‘Raaz 2′ directed by Mohit Suri. The star cast was seen promoting this intriguing thriller recently. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Shekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan Suman. Incidentally, Kangna Ranaut plays a fashion model in ‘Raaz– The Mystery Continues’ after ‘Fashion’. While Vikram Bhatt had directed the original, Mohit Suri, who directed ‘Zeher’, ‘Kalyug’ and ‘Woh Lamhe’ and has completed ‘Awarapan’ for the Bhatts, will direct ‘Raaz 2′. Adhyayan debuted through ‘Haal-e-Dil’, which couldn’t gain much acceptance. This young lad considers ‘Raaz 2′ as his debut movie. ‘Raaz-The Mystery Continues’ deals with issues of the “evil within” the human psyche and how it manifests itself. It is based on the myths and superstitions that are still widely existent in the contemporary Indian society.

The film attempts to challenge one’s beliefs about paranormal phenomena. It is about anticipation of fear and the fright residing within one’s self. Sounds interesting!

Emraan Hashmi has learnt a lot of painting in the last few days. If you are thinking if he is following on the footsteps of Salman Khan, you are not. The actor took the painting lessons for his next release Raaz – The Mystery Continues. Emraan plays a painter who can see what evil will befall on someone through his sudden visions and then he draws those incidents, exactly how he sees it, on canvas. “Painting is a very difficult thing to do. It might look that you just need to hold the brush and do something with colours but it’s very difficult. My role is that of a painter and I wanted to do that perfectly. I wanted to learn how to hold the brush properly, how to do those strokes etc. I have certainly not become a painter but yes, I have learnt the basics,” he says.There are very few Bollywood horror films which have done well in the box office. We quizzed Emraan on why he took the risk of treading this genre when he was tasting success with romance or dramas?

“I have always done different films. So when I read the script of Raaz – The Mystery Continues, I wanted to challenge myself and see whether I can be successful in this genre, too,” he says.Emraan has also stuck to his promise of not kissing on screen in Raaz – The Mystery Continues. He says, “I was getting typecast by doing the same thing. I realised that I had to do something different. Thankfully, people have accepted this new me,” Emraan says.We also asked him about co-star Kangana Ranaut who is known to be moody.

“These are just stories about her. She is a very sweet person and everyone goes through mood swings but that doesn’t mean that a person is bad. We gelled very well,” he signs off.
