We just started with 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'."},{"text":"The filmmaker further pointed out that he considers 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' not to be a horror film, but a psychological thriller."},{"text":"Shedding further light on the genre, Priyadarshan went on to explain, \"So, but it's a very, very nice psychology, I'll tell you something. In a tense film, a little bit of small humour also works in a big way because they are a little tense in the theatre. So, a small sequence of humour will work. But in an out-and-out comedy, you have to really work hard on humour. The most difficult thing. This is something everybody has to accept. I have suffered a lot making comedy films on this. And when I watch my own films, which have become huge hits, when I see them again, I don't feel like laughing. Then finally I think, 'you know, it's gone.' But in the theatre, I see the response. Because ten times you can't see the same scene. But there are people watching it twenty times, thirty times. This is the most difficult thing.\""},{"text":"The 'Hera Pheri' maker further went on to admit that every time he tries humour and horror, he ends up getting a shiver."},{"text":"\"I mean, it's very,
