As we know, a new horror film as Vicky Kaushal starrer
Bhoot: Part One- The Haunted Ship is making headlines. The pronouncement of the
movie was made this morning and it will also star Bhumi Pednekar in a special
cameo. But, the title of the movie is the same as Ram Gopal Varman’s 2001 movie,
Bhoot which starred Urmila Matondkar and Ajay Devgn. Thus, before using the
title, producer Karan Johar sought approval from Ram Gopal Varma.
While the poster and concept of the movie are different, it
is in the same genre of horror as RGV’s movie. When the movie’s concept came to
Karan, he was keen on having Bhoot as the title of the movie. Hence, he reached
out to RGV and asked him if he could use the title for his horror franchise.
Well, the ace filmmaker politely agreed and eventually the movie was titled
Bhoot: Part One-The Haunted Ship.
To express gratitude for Ram Gopal Varma, Karan Johar told,
“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.”
