Is 'Bhoot Returns' inspired by 'Paranormal Activity'?

New Delhi: The teaser of Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Bhoot Returns’ is out now. While the first poster of the film featured optical illusions, the first teaser displayed striking similarities with ‘Paranormal Activity’.

Bhoot Returns’ was earlier named as ‘Bhoot 2’, some reports even suggested its name as ‘Bhoooo’, but the poster confirmed the name.

The striking similarities with ‘Paranormal Activity’ are due to the treatment of ‘Bhoot returns’. Written and directed by Oren Peli, ‘Paranormal Activity’ became an instant hit due to its horror content. The best thing about the film was its documentary style presentation. Things unfolded in such a way in the film that the audience remained glued to his seat till the end.

\'Paranormal Activity\' featured Katie and Micah, who come to their new house, only to find strange things happening.

The film was shot with the help of digital cameras in such a way that it looked like a compilation of real life footages. The screen constantly showed the time lapse while the frame remained dimly lit. Such lighting is obtained when the lens of the camera is not apt enough to capture frames perfectly.

The teaser of ‘Bhoot Returns’ also shows the frames in fast forward motion, the same way ‘Paranormal Activity’ played the footage.
