It is raining stars for Dubai. This emirates has become one of the hot spots for Bollywood celebrities to promote their movies.

Close to the heels of 'Barfi!' star Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra's last week visit, it's now turn for Bollywood bombshell Bipasha Basu, serial kisser Emraan Hashmi and former Miss India Esha Gupta to fly into the city..

The trio who are in Dubai, with their film 'Raaz 3', will zoom through Dubai interacting with media at a press conference, pay visit to fans at Lamcy Plaza and drop by different media houses.

Speaking exclusively Emraan Hashmi, who is the men-of-the-moment, said he is very happy the way his film career has shaped up. “I am content doing the kind of films that are offered to me. With ‘Raaz 3’, it’s true that I am a part of the sequel, but it’s a part of a hit film franchise, and that feels great.

"‘Raaz 3’ is a commercial film and tells the story of an actor on decline. Every star rises to fall but trying to bring down the success of any newcomer through evil devices is what ‘Raaz 3’ is all about. It’s ‘contempt’ and ‘jealousy’ personified.

"And I must say Bipasha Basu has done a good job playing the actor who is out to inflict evil on rising star Esha Gupta. The surprise element will definitely keep the audiences glued to the screen,” says Emraan.

Talking about his good run at the Box Office, the actor further adds, "I have tried different genres of films. Initially the choice was according to the films prevalent around that time. But gradually these films have become the rage at the box office. I try to choose films that appeal both to classes and masses. Also commercial films I think are much more viable. My success owes its being to my hard work.”

However, post ‘Raaz 3’ Emraan plans to give sequels a break. This says the actor “will be my last sequel. Henceforth, I will try making films from different genre, except romantic movies.”

On the other hand actress Bipasha Basu is a happy actress these days. She is back in shape back in the Bhatt camp which gave her first solo lead with ‘Jism’.

In an exclusive interview, the Bengali bombshell bares her heart to finally being back on familiar ground. She said, "This is not just a production house for me, it’s a relation. The Bhatts are like family to me, and you don’t run away from family. Maheshji had offered me quite a few movies in the course of 8-years, but things didn’t materalise the way it should have been. But like they say, destiny has its own plans.

"So here we are all back and working together. Even Emraan Hashmi, who was in ‘Raaz’ will be working with us now. It feels great to be back."

Bipasha was the protagonist in the original 'Raaz' and here she plays the antagonist. But this is no big deal for Basu. According to her the character she plays is "the crux of the film. If there is no Shinaya, there is no film."

"In a way I am playing the lead role here too, albeit in a different shade."

Though Bipasha herself never witnessed black magic she feels these things do exist. "It’s a dark scary zone, which is very intimidating."

"This character Shinaya depicts all the actors. This emotion where someone reaches the top, and then fears losing it all. This is an emotion that scares every actor."

Talking about co-star Emraan Hashmi Bipasha said, "From ‘Footpath’ to ‘Razz 3’, Emraan has grown into a wonderful and effortless actor. Vikram was under pressure to make a better movie than ‘Raaz’.

"I was tensed too because of my character, and Esha didn’t know what she wants to do in life. But in all that mess, Emraan would be goofing around and yet is ready to shoot, and do it right, when the time came. He is an actor of tremendous capabilities."

'Raaz 3' will hit theatres on September 6.
