Actress Huma Qureshi, who will be seen
in upcoming horror film "Dobaara: See Your Evil" along with her brother
Saqib Saleem, says that the horror genre has not been explored properly
and hopes this "high-concept, low-budget" film will be an exciting
watch.
"I think this is the high time in Indian cinema where collaboration
with international market is important as we have audience across the
globe. Our film 'Dobara' is a high-concept, low-budget horror film
where we attempted to make a good family entertainer film," she told
the media at the launch of a song from it.
Saqib and Rhea Chakraborty who are playing crucial parts in the story
were also present.
Huma said that the film is an official adaption of American "Oculus",
but they had "changed main characters of the story a little, to
Indianize the story for a better audience connect".
Asked about among two siblings, if anyone of them was scared of
watching horror films in childhood, Huma said: "Well my grandfather
used to tell us a lot of horror stories so I have a fond memory of
that, when it comes to watching horror films on TV, oh yes, someone
used to get scared a lot (indicating her brother)."
Saqib said: "Nobody is born a 'Baahubali' so yes, I was scared and its
ok"
Sharing a childhood memory, he added: "I remember how I used to watch a
horror television show wrapping myself in a blanket that had a hole,
and I used to watch the show through that hole. But now I am so brave
that I am a part of a horror film."
Directed by Prawaal Raman, the film also features Lisa Ray, Adil
Hussain among others and is slated to release on June 2.
