"Every artist is haunted by the fear which follows him. When he reaches stardom, he gets scared of losing it all. He wants to always be at that height. We are all prisoners of fame. 'Raaz 3' dares to touch this fear which entertainers live with," Bhatt said.

Set to release on September 7, the movie is the third instalment in the 'Raaz' series after 'Raaz - The mystery continues' (2009) and 'Raaz' (2002), with Bipasha playing the role of an actress whose career is on a downfall.

Calling the film a dangerous cocktail, Bhatt said, "The film may not seem realist, but has been sourced out from the heart.

The first trailer of the Vikram Bhatt-directed film was released here late last night in a spooky ambience as the cast of the film, Emraan Hashmi recited a dialogue and Bipasha Basu made an entry tearing the poster.

This romantic-horror film marks the Bipasha's return to the Bhatt camp and the franchise. While she starred in the first 'Raaz', Kangana Ranaut played the lead in the second film in the series.

Bipasha will be seen portraying emotions of revenge and jealousy in the third part of the film.

"We all go through struggle but we choose not to show it. But it is important to address it at times and connect. This is why I agreed to do this character," Bipasha said.

"Initially on the sets of the film, I was lost because the scenes were so intense. I did not know how to reach the character. I haven't allowed myself to feel this way ever. But I had to let it go and finally I did," she added. MORE
