Director Vikram Bhatt opens up about the challenges behind Haunted 3D, thanking producer Anand Pandit for his unwavering support during tough times.

"Both 'Haunted 3D' and I have had a bumpy ride till now. - Vikram Bhatt"

Mumbai, April 21

Director Vikram Bhatt, who is set to release his 'Haunted 3D' in cinemas, has spoken up on his relationship with the film.

The film, which is set for release in cinemas on June 12, 2026, now aims to push fear to an entirely new level with an enhanced experience.

Talking about the film, Vikram Bhatt said, "Both 'Haunted 3D' and I have had a bumpy ride till now. Through the tough days of losing my mother and being incarcerated on a whim, Anand Pandit, the producer and a dear friend, stood by me. There was a time when I even asked him to release the film without me, but he refused. I want to thank Anandji for being all heart in an industry where people often desert you in difficult times. Thanks to his brave, courageous, and commendable stance, we are now set to release Haunted 3D on June 12. Get ready to be scared".

The film promises an upgraded 3D experience using the newest technology to heighten every scare, making the horror more immersive than ever. The new poster further hints at the intense atmosphere that awaits.

The film stars Mimoh Chakraborty, Chetna Pande, Shruti Prakash, Gaurav Bajpai, Praneet Bhatt and Hemant Pandey. Directed By Vikram Bhatt.

Producer Anand Pandit shared, "Our association with Vikram Bhatt goes back to 1920, and our relationship with him is beyond just work. Haunted has turned out really well, and I was sure that we would release the film, only after Vikram was free from custody. Irrespective of how long it takes. Now that he is here, giving the final touches to the film, we are ready to release the film on June 12, this year".

At a time when Bollywood experiments across genres, Haunted 3D aims to bring back authentic, nerve-rattling horror to the big screen. As June 12 approaches, one thing is clear this is a promise of fear, redefined.

The film is presented By In Association: Promoedge Media Company PVT LTD, and is distributed by Anand Pandit Motion Pictures. It is produced by Anand Pandit, Rakesh Juneja, co-produced By Roopa Pandit, Dilip Jaiswal, Rahul V Dubey, Manish Bhushan Mishra, and Sanjay Singh.

Honestly, the original Haunted was a cult classic for us horror fans. I'm excited but also a bit skeptical. Can a 2026 re-release with new tech really capture that original raw fear? Hope they don't rely too much on 3D gimmicks and forget the story.

The article mentions "incarcerated on a whim." That's a serious thing to say. While I appreciate the personal story, it feels like the focus is shifting from the film to the controversies. Just give us a good horror movie, yaar.

As someone who watched the first one in theatres, I'm genuinely curious about the "upgraded 3D experience." Indian horror has come a long way. If the technology enhances the atmosphere without being distracting, this could be a great cinematic experience.

Vikram Bhatt's horror films have a certain vibe. 1920 was brilliant. Hoping this new version of Haunted brings back that classic, story-driven horror instead of just jump scares. The cast looks interesting. Fingers crossed!

Respect to Anand Pandit. In an industry known for being fickle, such support is rare and commendable. The film's journey itself sounds like a drama! Will definitely watch to support this display of loyalty and second chances. 🤝
