Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt believes there’s a particular template that Indian filmmakers follow now. “Off late, we have become an industry that churns out only biopics. From the unknown guys to the known, everyone’s story is up for grabs,” Bhatt told IANS.
The director’s point refers to the numerous biopics that have cropped up in Bollywood in the last three-four years. Last year’s biopics included Omung Kumar’s Sarbjit, Neeraj Pandey’s M.S. Dhoni-The Untold Story and Nitesh Tiwari’s blockbuster Dangal. This year, Haseena Parkar’s and gangster Arun Gawli’s biopics are scheduled to release next month, along with a few other biopics in the pipeline.
Incidentally, Bhatt is is yet to join the bandwagon.
The Raaz director, meanwhile, had his psychological thriller Hadh recently released on SonyLIV, a digital entertainment platform. The 10-episode web series features an intriguing narrative that touches upon passion, lies, betrayal and murder.

“Hadh is the story of power and greed and to what limit people can go to achieve it. I believe almost everyone on this planet has a selling price. Some sell cheap and the rest hold back. Hadh is Shakespearean in its construction. A dying king and three young aspirants for the throne, so to speak. Lies, betrayal, and murder is on the menu,” he said.
