Mahesh Bhatt plans to build 'Murder' franchise

MUMBAI: With the idea to make ‘Murder‘ a franchise, Mahesh Bhatt is mulling sequels in the erotic crime thriller genre.

"We decided to make Murder 2 with a clear understanding that it would have the key components that were in ‘Murder‘, which is erotica, edginess and experience of crime and thrills. And this is going to be the brand of ‘Murder‘. We are not going to stop here. We are going to make Murder 3, Murder 4 and so on," Bhatt said.

Going into details, Bhatt said: "What I have seen is that problems of unmarried couples are more than that of married couples. That‘s what it‘s there in Murder2.

 
Bhatt‘s films have high sexual content as he wants to mop out the feeling of guilt associated with the term sex. "I want to take out guilt from sex. There is an age-old relation between sex and guilt. Indian heroines used to be very reluctant about doing bold scenes, thinking it to be dirty. That‘s the fountainhead of your life, how could it be dirty?" he querried.

"In the 21st century, we have increased the sexual content as India has changed; thought processes have changed and so have the sexual references," Bhatt observed.
