Haunted 3D was by far the highest grossing horror film in India. Post the success of the film, director Vikram Bhatt was pretty kicked about making a sequel to RGV's Bhoot. The project announced just last week but the news is that Bhatt has opted out of it. Vikram Bhatt was initially slated to direct Bhoot 2; however Ram Gopal Varma quickly announced his version of the sequel titled BHHOOoo. Even though the producer of Bhoot, Nitin Manmohan had signed on Bhatt to direct the film, the filmmaker chose to opt out of the film.

Speaking about this Bhatt says, "I was told that Ramu had enough on his plate and would be unavailable to direct Bhoot 2. I was never the first choice for Bhoot 2, he was. Ramu is a senior director and technician and I would never do anything to upset him. Now, since I know he wants to direct the second part, I wish him well. I will not direct Bhoot 2. It rightfully belongs to Ramu, not me. In any case, I have to work on Raaz 3." Though he may no longer be making Bhoot 2, Vikram is currently busy with Dangerous Ishq, which marks the comeback of Karisma Kapoor with an ensemble cast, followed by Raaz 3.
