Bipasha Basu & Vikram Bhatt Movies Together List — 5 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Raaz; the 2010s to Raaz 3. Bipasha Basu acted in every film; Vikram Bhatt directed all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Bipasha was already a known face from 'Ajnabee', but Vikram Bhatt cast her in 'Raaz' (2002) after seeing her in a music video. He later admitted he took a gamble because she wasn't an established actress yet — that film made both of them superstars in the horror genre.
• On the set of 'Aetbaar' (2004), Vikram pushed Bipasha to do her own stunts in the climax — she was terrified of heights but climbed a multi-story building without a body double. He later said that raw fear made her performance more real.
• The success of 'Raaz' (2002) directly launched the modern Hindi horror-thriller wave. Without this film, there would be no 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' (2007) or 'Pari' (2018) — both directors have cited 'Raaz' as their template.
• After 'Footpath' (2003) flopped, Vikram Bhatt and Bipasha didn't speak for nearly a year. They only reconciled when he called her to apologize for the film's failure — and she told him she'd already signed 'Raaz 3' because she trusted him blindly.
• Vikram Bhatt once said about Bipasha: 'She is the only actress who can scream and still look beautiful. That's a rare skill in horror.' He said this during the promotion of 'Raaz 3' (2012).
• In 'Creature 3D' (2014), Vikram deliberately gave Bipasha no dialogue for the first 20 minutes — he wanted her to act purely with her eyes and body language. She later said it was the hardest thing she'd ever done as an actor.
