Emraan Hashmi to Shoot Gothic Horror 'Raaz 4' at Dracula's Castle in Transylvania

Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi is all set to shoot the upcoming gothic horror Raaz 4 in Dracula's castle at Transylvania, Romania.

According to Indian Express, after completing the shooting of Azhar, Hashmi is heading to work on the fourth instillment of the Raaz franchise in the cold weathers of Romania. Recently, Hashmi tweeted a scenic picture of the famous castle:

It was reported by Bollywood Hungama in 2013 that Raaz 4 will be inspired by the 1976 classic The Omen; the Indian version will be titled Raaz – The Hidden Secret.

Vikram Bhatt, who will be co-producing the film under the banner of Vishesh Films with Fox Star Studios, revealed that they have already purchased the rights of The Omen starring Gregory Peck. Bhatt also confirmed, though the film is inspired by the cult thriller, it will have Indian backgrounds.

Bhatt, who is going to direct Raaz 4, also made it clear that Hashmi will not be a part of Raaz 4 due to some date clashes.

It was reported back in 2014 by India Today that Hashmi has been signed to play the main lead in the movie. The film was likely to go on floors in April 2015 but due to Hashmi's busy schedule, Vishesh Films pushed back the shooting dates.

"We have yet to finalize the heroine but Emraan is definitely on board, we will roll in the first quarter of the next year," Bhatt added.

Indian Express reported that South Indian actress Kriti Kharbanda will share screen with Hashmi in the gothic horror film. Hashmi played the lead in Raaz 2 and Raaz 3. The horror films are famous for their music and the film's narration. Now, with the scenic beauty of Romania, Raaz 4 will be a thriller ride for all the horror movie lovers.
