Vicky Kaushal and Sharma Productions are both all set to enter the horror genre with their Friday release Bhanu Pratap Singh's Bhoot - Part One: The Haunted Ship. The film will feature Vicky playing the role of a surveying officer of Seabird, an unmanned ship that washes ashore in Mumbai. The story takes a turn as Vicky tries to investigate what happened in the ship and an evil spirit wreaks havoc on him.
According to a report, it is being said Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship is inspired by MV Wisdom, a 9000-tonne cargo ship that was found stranded on Juhu Beach in June 2011. Vicky confirmed to Bollywood Hungama and said that the incident was the "germ" for the film.
He said, "When MV Wisdom sailed into Juhu Beach in 2011, Bhanu was the guy who was standing in a rickshaw and he was very intrigued by what was there and he went on the beach to click pictures. I didn’t go to Juhu Beach but obviously, it is an open area, so while traveling or going across, I had seen the ship and I knew what it was. I had read it in the papers also."
Apart from this, a little over a month after MV Wisdom, on the evening of July 30, an unmanned oil tanker named MT Pavit drift undetected into India’s coastal waters before wedging itself at Juhu Beach. Reports state that the vessel bore a Panama flag and that it was abandoned off the coast of Oman earlier that month and an Indian merchant vessel MV Jag Pushpa rescued its crew after receiving an SOS message.
The Indian Navy, the Coast Guard, and the Mumbai Police’s coastal arm could not detect the ship until it washed up on the shore of Juhu Beach. The film is loosely inspired by these two incidents, with a "haunted" angle added. The film, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Ashutosh Rana, will hit the theatres this February 21.
