The trailer for Vikram Bhatt’s upcoming horror film, Bloody Ishq was unveiled by the makers on Tuesday. It stars Avika Gor in the lead and marks her second collaboration with Vikram after 1920: Horrors of the Heart (2023).
The trailer introduces the central conflict where Avika’s character comes to reside in a mansion on a secluded island along with her fiancé. She starts noticing certain mysterious elements in the house and starts investigating, and she encounters ghosts, spirits and more along the way.
Speaking about her experience working in the film, Avika Gor said, “I feel very fortunate that Vikram Sir (Vikram Bhatt) thought of me when he was visualizing this film. Horror is something I enjoy as a genre and to land this role was interesting and challenging. This is entirely different from my roles in 1920: Horrors of the Heart or Mansion 24.”
Talking about the film, Vikram Bhatt said, “It may be hard to believe me, but I am scared of watching horror films, even though I absolutely enjoy making them for the viewers. I had been wanting to make a horror love story for the longest and when I spoke to Bhatt sahab about it, without a second thought, he jumped in and then Bloody Ishq happened.”
He added, “I wanted to retain some elements of a horror film like a dark setup, ghosts and spirits while also adding my own twists to the tale and giving it a fresh mix of a love story, suspense and horror.”
Sharing his views about it, Mahesh Bhatt said, “It is always great to create new films with Vikram as our vision is very similar and we are always on the same page when it comes to giving the audiences what they would love to watch. Bloody Ishq is a one-of-a-kind gripping story that will keep the viewers thinking about the film even when the film is over.”
Bloody Ishq is produced by Mahesh Bhatt and is set to be released on Disney+ Hotstar on July 26.
