Once this film was released in the theatres, Bipasha started to get a lot of offers from other producers and directors. Raaz became the turning point of Bipasha’s career. Did you know that she wasn’t the first choice of the makers for the film?
The film was first offered to actress Lisa Ray, who dropped out of the shoot due to personal reasons. Raaz even got shelved for a while after that. Dino referred Bipasha’s name to Vikram, which eventually led to her casting. Even Dino Morea wasn’t the first choice for the male lead in the film.
The makers wanted to cast Anil Kapoor. He had never been in a horror film and denied the role he was offered. The next actor in line to take the role was Dino Morea. This was how Dino and Bipasha came together on screen.

The romantic horror movie won hearts and scared the viewers so much that it etched a memory in their minds forever.
The movie had some memorable songs too, that people listen to even today. There were a lot of jump-scare moments in the film that kept the viewers on the edge of their seats. During the shooting of the film, Bipasha got so scared that she had innumerable sleepless nights. Doing this film made her popular in the horror genre and she started to get a lot more offers.
