After romance, comedy and thriller, actress Zareen Khan is getting into horror space with her latest film 1921. Directed by Vikram Bhatt, the horror film features Karan Kundra as the leading man and is set in London. Before the release of the movie, BollywoodMDB correspondent, Mohnish Singh, catches up with the actress for a candid conversation. In this interview, Zareen talks about a lot of things, ranging from her latest film to fallout with the producers of her last release, Aksar 2 and a dearth of good horror movies in Bollywood to nepotism. Excerpts…

Zareen Khan Q. Tell us something about your character in 1921?

A. I play a character called Rose in the film. She is a ghost whisperer who can communicate with the spirits and pass on their messages to their dear ones. The film is set in the era of 1921 where people used to lead a very simple life.

Q: Would you like to clear the air about the Aksar 2 controversy? You had given several explosive interviews accusing the producers of not adhering to fare practices.

A. Aksar 2 didn’t turn out to be the kind of film which the makers had promised me before the shoot. I really don’t know why things went wrong. During the shoot of the film, the makers kept adding different inputs to the whole story. They had clearly promised me that the film wouldn’t be along the lines of Hate Story 3 and that it would be a clean film. However, the film had taken a totally different shape. I guess they might have lost their vision of the film during the process. I really don’t know what exactly happened to them. When the film released, I went to watch my own film with my family and friends
