The upcoming horror flick of Aftab Shivdasani and Tia Bajpai 1920-Evil Returns has already become the talks of town. The movie seems to be a full package with all the love moments it has, the scenic background, uplifting music, action and horror.

It has already created an impact on the viewers. This Vikram Bhatt film has everything a horror flick should have as compared to other movies of horror genre.

Aftab said, “Exactly the point. In fact this is one thing that I have been saying right through the film's promotion that both Vikram Bhatt and Bhushan Patel believe in lending a soul to the film. None of them is interested in creating horror just as a gimmick or bringing in thrills so that there are scares and chills. Instead, there is a definite story that has been woven around where horror is just an added spice.”

“I would again reiterate that this is a love story at the core of it all with a backdrop of horror. When you get up from your seat after watching the film, one thing that you are going to remember most is the story more than anything else,” he added.

It seems that the actor is in full mood this time to give a tough call to the other actors in town. Well, the final verdict would be out as the film hits the screen on November 2!

Iraq's al Qaeda claims responsibility for deadly Eid attacks

Baghdad: An al Qaeda group in Iraq on Monday claimed responsibility for a series of deadly bomb and gunfire attacks across Iraq during the Eid al-Adha holiday, reported Xinhua.

The self-styled Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), the al Qaeda front in the country, confirmed in a statement posted on an Islamic website that the attacks "have conveyed a quick message" to the Shia government and its followers that they will pay a high price and will not enjoy peace unless they stop random arrests against the Sunni community.

It said the security forces of the Shia government "have carried out recently a series of immoral and cowardly acts to arrest Sunni women to force their wanted relatives to turn themselves in, or blackmail their parents by fabricating charges against them".

"Such acts have increased recently, including arresting women from certain clans in south of Baghdad," the statement said.

The authenticity of the statement could not be immediately verified.

So far some 42 people have been killed and 122 wounded in the recent wave of insurgent attacks across the country over the four-day Eid al-Adha holiday.

Such deadly attacks are apparent attempts by the insurgent groups to stir up sectarian strife among Iraqis to push the country to the brink of a civil war, amid persistent political divisions that have already paralyzed the country's government.
