Bhoot Returns

Bhoot Returns (English: Ghost Returns) is an upcoming Bollywood 3D horror film directed by Ram Gopal Varma and written by Ravi Shankar. Produced by Jitendra Jain of Alumbra Entertainment, the film is presented by Eros International group. The music is given by Salim Sulaiman. Its cinematography is done by Harshraj Shroff and M.Ravichandra Thevar. The film is editted by Sunil M. Wadhwani.
The film stars J. D. Chakravarthy, Manisha Koirala, Madhu Shalini and Alayana Sharma in the lead roles. The film is a sequel to the 2003 film Bhoot Returns directed by Varma himself. It is scheduled for the theatrical release on 12th October, 2012.

With the film Bhoot, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) introduced a new age horror genre to Indian cinema. The film was a huge hit. And, now, RGV is all set with the sequel Bhoot Returns and presents the first look of the film. The filmmaker is also touted to be countering Raaz 3 with his film since Vikram Bhatt's film too falls under the same genre.
Title row
Earlier, a title Bhoot 2 was registered by producer Nitin Manmohan’s company because at that time Nitin and RGV were together. Owing to their parting, producer Nitin Manmohan, a year back announced Bhoot 2 with Vikram Bhatt as the director.
But when Vikram got to know that it was not done with RGV’s consent he backed out. As the title Bhoot 2 was registered with Nitin Manmohan the new producers of the sequel Alumbra Entertainment and Eros International repeatedly requested Nitin Manmohan to part with the title citing the original creator was RGV.
“The producers repeatedly requested Nitin Manmohan to give the copyright of the title. But he in a petty minded nature due to his previous tussle with RGV, delayed the process,” says a source close to the producers. RGV decided to end this chase for the title and changed the title of his film from Bhoot 2 to Bhoot Returns.

The film stars actress Madhu Shalini, Manisha Koirala, Alayana Sharma and JD Chakravarthy and Eros International will release the film worldwide on October 12. Bhoot Returns is RGV’s first 3D film. The film will also release in Tamil and Telugu.

The first-look poster was released in September 2012. It depicted a girl with four eyes and two noses in an optical illusion styled photograph. The poster, however, was termed as a "blatant copy" and a rip-off of an ad campaign poster made by a Mumbai based Ad-agency to spread awareness against drunken driving.
The first trailer of Bhoot returns premiered in theatres with the release of Raaz 3. It features a little girl playing with a partly visible spirit in the living room in the wee hours and the scene is being captured on a webcam. The trailer was certified an "A" rating from the Censor board of India.
