Concept is the star in horror thrillers, says Prawaal Raman

Saqib Saleem and Huma Qureshi

'Darna Mana Hai' (2003) director Prawaal Raman says horror films are not at the mercy of big stars because in such genre, concept is the star of horror flicks. Top Bollywood actors often shy away from working in horror films and when asked about it, the filmmaker said, "Horror as a genre is not at the mercy of top actors. For me, the concept is a star in horror thrillers. Horror as a concept is bigger than anybody. So if the stars don't want to attach themselves to this, it's their choice," adds Prawaal, who is awaiting the release of his next film, 'Dobaara: See Your Evil', an official adaptation of the American horror Oculus (2013). Dobara stars Huma Qureshi, Saqib Saleem, Lisa Ray and Adil Hussain.
