The 3D format became big among the Indian audience with Avatar (2009) and it further got a boost among the masses thanks to Vikram Bhatt’s Haunted (2011). Starring Mimoh Chakraborty and Tia Bajpai, the film was a sleeper hit due to the horror element, plot, execution, music and of course, the 3D element.

Its teaser was dropped on September 3 and the plan was to unveil the film in cinemas on November 21. However, the film has been pushed to next year. Bollywood Hungama exclusively spoke to Vikram Bhatt to understand the reason behind it. Vikram Bhatt said, “My mother was very unwell since January. In September, she passed away. Due to this tragedy, I couldn’t do the amount of VFX work required.”He added, “Then, when we released the teaser, the lovers of the Haunted series were not happy. They wanted more real locations. We have always been in the habit of listening to good advice. Hence, we have adhered to it and shot in actual locations. We have incorporated those shots into the film. Accordingly, we are now ready to bring the film on January 30, 2026.”He further explained, “We generated a lot of VFX plates for the background. But that didn’t look real enough. Hence, we went and shot a couple of scenes for 10-12 days.”Many netizens speculated that AI has been used in Haunted Ghosts Of The Past. Vikram Bhatt clarified, “There was no AI. It was all VFX. Basically, the film is set in a strange new world. I wanted to create that world (as per the requirement). But I realized that before watching the film, the audience won’t know what world is being shown in the film. Hence, they have assumed that it’s bad VFX (laughs). But it actually wasn’t. It was just a different world.”When asked when the trailer of Haunted Ghosts Of The Past will be released, Vikram Bhatt answered, “The trailer will be out next month.”Songs and 3D The songs of Haunted were memorable. What can we expect from the songs of the second part? Vikram replied, “Hopefully, we will be able to match the soundtrack of the first part, if not better it (smiles).”Lastly, a conversation about a film of the Haunted series is incomplete without mentioning the 3D element. Vikram Bhatt made a big claim before signing off, “I can tell you that Haunted Ghosts Of The Past will have the best 3D to date in Indian cinema. I just saw some 3D shots and I was jumping with joy!”Also Read: Vikram Bhatt decodes the timeless allure of Aditya Chopra’s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

‘You don’t care the president might be a pedophile?’: GOP advisor stuns panel with remarks

Republican strategist Angie Wong stunned CNN’s “Table for Five” Saturday after insisting that “real American voters” don’t care about Jeffrey Epstein and his deep connections to powerful figures, including President Donald Trump. President Donald Trump made a stunning announcement Friday that he would be asking his attorney general to launch a new investigation into Epstein’s ties with several prominent Democratic figures, a response to the outcry of calls for the Trump administration to release files it holds on Epstein. Those calls intensified this week after the House Oversight Committee released a trove of new files that included several new revelations about Trump’s past ties with Epstein. As to why Democratic lawmakers have been among the loudest voices calling for the Justice Department to release its files on Epstein, Wong said it was merely a way to recover after the recent government shutdown, which she described as a “major loss” for Democrats.“Because Democrats just had a major loss with the government shutdown and we need to change the narrative, we need to flip it back onto the Epstein files? Really, guys?” Wong said on the panel. “We’re going to recycle something that’s been dead for so long? No one cares about this stuff! Real American voters, we care about affordability and other real things, not about Epstein!”Journalist and podcaster Touré Neblett, also a guest on Saturday’s panel, clapped back at Wong for her suggestion that Americans didn’t care about what files on Epstein might reveal about America’s most powerful figures.“That’s kind of a bizarre position. You don’t care that the president might be a pedophile?” Neblett asked. Moderating the discussion, CNN’s Kate Bolduan jumped in the discussion in an apparent effort to shield her network from civil liability, claiming that “there’s no evidence of that at all” in reference to Neblett’s comments. Neblett, however, didn’t let up.“To say that nobody cares is kind of absurd!” he said. “If the president is a pedophile, we should know about it and people would care about that!””You don’t care that the president might be a pedophile?”GOP strategist @angiewong stuns journalist @Toure for insisting that “real American voters” don’t care about Epstein. pic. twitter. com/jn8CIP2Pb5- Alexander Willis (@ReporterWillis) November 15, 2025.

Bondholders step back from Oracle’s latest debt moves to support AI spending

The post Bondholders step back from Oracle’s latest debt moves to support AI spending appeared com. The bond market is hammering Oracle this week after it was reported by Cryptopolitan that the company plans to stack another $38 billion onto its already massive debt load to build out more AI infrastructure, a move that stunned traders who were already watching its balance sheet swell past $104 billion. That new borrowing plan hit the market at the exact moment investors were trying to figure out how far the company can push this strategy while spending more cash than it brings in from operations through deals with startups like OpenAI. Bond traders said the impact showed up right away in the numbers. The company’s 2033 bonds with a 4. 9% coupon slipped again this week, lifting yields by more than three basis points over the last two weeks. The 2032 bonds with a 4. 8% coupon also saw yields rise almost two basis points in one week. Those jumps marked the moment when questions about the safety of this plan moved out of private calls and into actual trading. Analysts said the drop followed the CNBC report outlining the company’s plan to take on that additional $38 billion, which landed exactly when investors were trying to measure how deep this AI gamble could go. Traders track new warnings from analysts and investors Lisa Shalett, the chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, told Reuters that major tech firms are trying to keep stock buybacks alive while pouring money into capex, and they are financing both at once by borrowing. When Lisa said, “most of the major tech companies are trying to sustain their stock buyback programs at the same time that they’re spending on capex currently and to do that, they’re actually borrowing and so they’re using debt,” it matched what traders were seeing inside the bond screens all.
