Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt dismissed criticism of the teaser for his film Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past, saying audiences assume everything is CGI. He stated, "Real bhoot kahan se leke aaunga? Bhoot toh aisa hi hoga, bhai,” and insisted several scenes were shot in real locations, not created digitally.

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt is gearing up for the release of his upcoming directorial Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past, a spine-chilling horror starring Mimoh Chakraborty and Chetna Pande, set to hit theatres on June 12. The teaser, unveiled on Tuesday, faced criticism over its CGI, prompting Vikram to react, saying the 'funny thing' is that after initial feedback about excessive VFX, the team shot on real locations, adding, "some people are stupid… that’s the real location, foolish. So, haters will hate but lovers will love."

Speaking to Zoom, Vikram said, "The point is that we have to get more educated about cinema. Now suppose, aap Star Wars dekh aaaye and if you start saying, 'This is CGI.' Star Wars mein aur kya hoga? Mai real bhoot kahan se leke aaunga? Bhoot toh aisa hi hoga, bhai. (If you go and watch Star Wars and then start saying, ‘This is CGI,’ what else will it be in Star Wars? Where will I bring a real ghost from? A ghost will be like this only)."
