Yesterday, Vicky Kaushal along with Karan Johar launched the trailer of Bhoot: The Haunted Ship in Mumbai. The event was also attended by director Bhanu Pratap Singh and Shashank Khaitan. The trailer of Bhoot received a good response from the people.

At the trailer launch, Karan revealed how he got the title ‘Bhoot‘ from Ram Gopal Varma who directed film with the same name in 2003 which saw Urmila Matondkar and Ajay Devgn in the lead roles.

During an interaction with the media, Karan Johar said, “Bhoot’ was the correct title for this film but we didn’t have it. I thought ‘at maximum, I’d hear a no from him (Varma) but let me call him’. And I was just blown by his generosity. I called him and I spoke to him and he was like, ‘Yeah, take it and whatever paperwork you will need, just let me know.”
