''Raaz 3' narrates true stories of Bipasha Basu, Vikram Bhatt'

Producer Mahesh Bhatt describes Raaz 3 as a mix of three true-life stories of actress Bipasha Basu, director Vikram Bhatt and writer Shagufta Rafique.

"Raaz 3 is a cocktail of three true stories. One is about Shagufta, who has observed how people indulge in black magic to enhance their career. I know it sounds bizarre, but that's the truth.

"Bipasha was in a stage in her real life where she was heartbroken and her career was declining to ground zero. With the landscape filled with new heroines, she had a terrible phase," he said and added that Vikram Bhatt also was in a similar situation when one of his girlfriends broke his heart.

"She (Vikram Bhatt's girlfriend) used to manipulate him to enhance her career," Bhatt said.

He says it is a horror film with a real message.

"Though the film has horror all over it but it has a soul of real message, truth of fame-seeking celebrity," the 63-year-old said.

Raaz 3 hits the screen on September 7.
