Vikram Bhatt, known for directing thrillers like Raaz, 1920 and 1921, is set to direct his next feature film. The director has recently launched an OTT app called VB on the web and has launched some interesting series like Untouchables and Twisted, which were huge hits with the audience. But Vikram will now concentrate on his next big screen offering and will begin shooting it later this year. The director wants to make a film in the genre he loves, thriller.

While the male actor of the film hasn’t been decided yet, TV actress Nia Sharma, who starred his web series Twisted, has been signed to star in the upcoming flick.

A spokesperson said, “Vikram Bhatt has just begun planning his next film after the success of his OTT platform. The director has just signed Nia Sharma, the actress from the web series Twisted 2. While details of the film are still being etched out, the actor and director will be coming together for their first full length feature. Vikram aims to make it different from anything he has made in the past. He wants to surprise audiences with not only the story but Nia’s look in the film.”

The actress will also be seen in the upcoming sequel to the hit series Twisted. Twisted 2, this time will tell the story of Aliya Mukherji who is framed in the murder of her boyfriend Vinod. The plot progresses with more twisted turns and suspense than the first part.
