We have made many horror films but this time we wanted to create a supernatural thriller."He added describing his film as a mix of horror and thriller. "Imagine there is one film like 'Kasoor' and 'Raaz' which has thriller, suspense and horror also, so, this time we are trying something new. Like there is an era of horror comedy, where we mix comedy with horror, in the same way, we have mixed thriller with horror. It is something new. We hope that the audience will like it," he said.
