"I have done two extremely successful horror films in South, my last release in a southern language Anando Brahma, was horror. It did brilliantly well and so did Kanchana 2. I think horror is a genre which Hindi cinema per say hasn't exploited much till now," Taapsee told IANS over the phone.
"I have come across a couple of directors with scripts...who want to explore the genre...The thing is not many see horror separated from erotica. That is why I guess of late, we don't have many options to boast about the thing that this was horror and not erotica," she added.
