Disney+ Hotstar has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming film “Bloody Ishq,” directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Mahesh Bhatt. The movie, starring Avika Gor, is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar on July 26, 2024.
Avika Gor expressed her excitement about being chosen for the film, stating, “I feel very fortunate that Vikram Sir (Vikram Bhatt) thought of me when he was visualizing this film. Horror is something I enjoy as a genre and to land this role was interesting and challenging. This is entirely different from my roles in 1920: Horrors of the Heart or Mansion 24.”
She further added, “I’m really grateful that when it comes to strong, emotional female characters I’m considered and it gave me this great opportunity to work with the Bhatts again. Neha’s character helped me explore my inner abilities as an actor and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Disney+ Hotstar.”
Director Vikram Bhatt shared his thoughts on the project, revealing, “It may be hard to believe me, but I am scared of watching horror films, even though I absolutely enjoy making them for the viewers. I had been wanting to make a horror love story for the longest and when I spoke to Bhatt sahab about it, without a second thought, he jumped in and then Bloody Ishq happened.”
Bhatt continued, “I wanted to retain some elements of a horror film like a dark setup, ghosts and spirits while also adding my own twists to the tale and giving it a fresh mix of a love story, suspense, and horror. Avika Gor is one of the most talented actors in the industry and after 1920: Horrors of the Heart, I just knew I had to have her in Bloody Ishq and she has outdone herself with her performance.”
Producer Mahesh Bhatt emphasized the collaboration with Vikram Bhatt, stating, “It is always great to create new films with Vikram as our vision is very similar and we are always on the same page when it comes to giving the audiences what they would love to watch. Bloody Ishq is a one-of-a-kind gripping story that will keep the viewers thinking about the film even when the film is over.”
He added, “We received constant support from Disney+ Hotstar which made working with them a pleasurable experience. A gripping storyline, unexpected twists, and horrors that will constantly haunt, Bloody Ishq has all this and more, and I am confident that Disney+ Hotstar’s audience will definitely enjoy the film.”
As the anticipation builds for the release of “Bloody Ishq” on Disney+ Hotstar, fans can look forward to a unique blend of horror, suspense, and love story crafted by a talented team of filmmakers and actors.
