EXCLUSIVE: Haunted – Ghosts Of The Past postponed; Vikram Bhatt reshoots 12 Days in REAL locations after FAN demand; new release set for January 30, 2026; director says, “It has the BEST 3D to date…”
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. Now, Vikram Bhatt is ready with Haunted Ghosts Of The Past. It brings back Mimoh Chakraborty and this time, he’s joined by Chetna Pande and others. 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.
21 Adorable Memes of Cats Discovering That Pawrenthood Is Equal Parts Cuddles and Chaos
Cat parenting is serious business. Or at least, they make it look that way. One minute, a mama cat is proudly herding her kittens like a tiny, furry parade, and the next, she’s trying to nap while three little troublemakers use her tail as a toy. The patience it takes to raise a litter of kittens deserves an award (and maybe a lifetime supply of treats). Between constant bath time, snack time, and “why are you climbing that” time, cat parents stay busy. Dads might pretend they’re too cool for parenting, but even they can’t resist a curious kitten batting at their whiskers. And no matter how chaotic things get, there’s always a sweet moment. A pile of purring kittens snuggled close, a gentle nuzzle, or that look that says, these are mine, and I love them anyway. Being a cat parent isn’t easy, but it’s endlessly rewarding. They teach their babies how to pounce, play, and purr. and maybe a little bit about ruling the household, too.

Ranveer Singh launches ‘Rangeela’ Vodka inspired by his bold, colourful persona
Ranveer Singh has added a new chapter as an entrepreneur. The actor has launched Rangeela, a vodka brand that mirrors his vibrant, larger-than-life personality. Crafted by ABD Maestro Pvt. Ltd. (Allied Blenders and Distillers), the beverage marks Ranveer’s official entry into this side of the consumer space, blending his flair for creativity with a product positioned as smooth, versatile and distinct. With Rangeela, Ranveer takes on the role of Co-Founder and Creative Partner at ABD Maestro, shaping not only the product but the philosophy behind it. Announcing the brand, he reportedly shared a statement regarding the same stating, “With Rangeela Vodka, we are bringing something that celebrates the spirit of all of us. The universe of the brand is colourful, energetic and vibrant. We are creative, confident, and expressive. It’s for the ones who live life to the fullest and are unafraid to be seen, heard, and celebrated. It is born out of this very spirit.”True to its name, Rangeela leans into a lively, expressive identity, aimed at consumers who embrace individuality and enjoy experimenting with flavours. The vodka is designed to be smooth enough for shots while also pairing well with cocktails that highlight citrus notes, cranberry blends and even espresso-based mixes-an attempt to appeal to diverse taste preferences and nightlife cultures. Currently available in Maharashtra, Rangeela is set to expand soon to Goa, West Bengal and key markets across North India. The strategic rollout signals ABD Maestro’s attempt to tap into youth-centric urban regions, aligning the brand with Ranveer’s strong following among young audiences. For Ranveer, whose off-screen persona is as widely discussed as his on-screen work, the brand launch feels like a natural extension of his image-bold, high-energy and impossible to miss. His involvement in conceptualizing the brand universe further reinforces Rangeela as a personal passion project rather than just a celebrity endorsement. Meanwhile, on the professional front, the actor is gearing up for the release of his next big film, Dhurandhar, in which he takes on a gritty, high-octane avatar. The action entertainer, arriving in theatres on December 5, has already generated significant buzz thanks to its intense visuals and Ranveer’s commanding screen presence. With Rangeela entering the market and Dhurandhar nearing release, Ranveer Singh is set to dominate both the lifestyle and entertainment spaces this season.
