Vishesh Films' latest release Murder 2, starring Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez, is the second biggest hit of the year after Salman Khan's Ready. The Bhatt brothers are now planning a third film in the successful series. Says Mukesh Bhatt, "We will be ready to launch Murder 3 soon. Our creative team is already working on it. Emraan and Mohit Suri (the film's director) will return for Murder 3. The Murder series caters to a younger noir cinema that has erotica as its theme. Murder 3 will again be a no-holds-barred, completely new experience." Mahesh Bhatt adds, "The Murder series is for changing India, where the masses and classes overlap. From Saraansh to Murder 2, it's been one hell of a journey for me. Murder 3 will have its own expectations, but we are hell bent on delivering a bigger hit." On retaining Emraan for the Murder series, Mahesh says, "Like Sean Connery in the James Bond series, Emraan will be in all our Murder series. He is an in-house asset created by us." According to Mahesh, what has worked for the film is its content. "Mere shock value and titillation are not enough to pull in an audience today. A good narrative combined with a modern morality is necessary." It was the older Bhatt's idea to come out with Murder 2. Admits Mahesh, "Yes it was my idea. Like all good ideas, it was born out of the darkest moment of our lives. We had given three flops — Jashn, Tum Mile and Crook — and had moved away from what we started out with 11 years ago, i.e. cost effective, high concept films. I told my team that we should go back to what made me a brand with our next film. Today, Murder 2 has beaten the original film four times over."
