While zombie films have always been popular in the West, this year perhaps marks the beginning of Bollywood's fascination with the living dead.

A string of zombie flicks are in the making, many of which have A-list actors starring in them. We ask filmmakers what inspired them to take on this genre, and whether such films would work here.
Rock The Shaadi
This upcoming zombie rom-com stars Genelia D'souza and Abhay Deol, with the latter's real-life girlfriend Preeti Desai doing a cameo. The Balaji and iRock films project is directed by Navdeep Singh of Manorama Six Under Feet fame.
The self-proclaimed father of zombie films in India Sid Jain of iRock films started developing this film in 2008 when it was called Shaadi Of The Dead.

"At that time, people didn't even know what zombies are and nobody was interested to even listening to a zombie story." He is glad that more filmmakers are attempting the genre. "The more the merrier. If we have more zombie films, it will help people to understand the zombie world better," he adds.
Go Goa Gone
This zombie comedy stars Saif Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu. Directed by Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru of Shor fame, the film is currently being shot.
