Debutante director Abhinay Deo, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming thriller 'Game', says that he aims to revive the genre of whodunit mysteries in Bollywood with the film. "Not many filmmakers go for making thrillers as it is difficult to make and write.

It is a difficult task. Fewer producers opt for such kind of films as the repeat value is less. With 'Game' I am trying to bring back the magic of thriller..the whodunit classic murder mystery type of films, " Abhinay told PTI in an interview.

'Game' is a tale spanning five international cities; a slick edge-of-the-seat thriller with twists and turns involving love, revenge, retribution, and good old-fashioned murder. Everyone is a suspect, and every suspect has a motive. And the director hopes that the flick fares well at the BO.

"I was not sceptical of doing the thriller. I don't think I have taken a risk. I believe that our hard work will show up..we have tried our best, covered every aspect to make it a good film, " Abhinay said.

Abhinay, who trained as an architect and later joined the advertisement world in 1993, said, "I am somebody who would direct a film purely on the basis of a script. I liked the script..it was too exciting and engaging. The film has a very interesting concept...an edgy thriller."

Asked if he tried to ape 'Teesri Manzil', the classic thriller movie, Abhinay, said, "There is no similarity between 'Game' and 'Teesri Manzil'. The film is very much original. The writer Althea Delmas Kaushal has done a fabulous job. With 'Game' we are bringing back the genre of thriller and murder mystery films and not recreating the magic of any particular film."

'Teesri Manzil' directed by Vijay Anand and produced by Nasir Hussain starred Shammi Kapoor, Asha Parekh, Nazima, Premnath, Prem Chopra, Helen, K N Singh and Salim Khan. The film became a hit at the box office. But the 40-year-old director is confident about his debut film, Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment, which releases on April 1.

"I am very much confident of the film. I am sure people will like it. Also, I don't think the IPL matches would deter the audience to watch the film. I guess till about six weeks there were no movies because of World Cup so the audience might be hungry and hope they will come and see the film, " Abhinay said.

The ensemble cast includes Abhishek Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut, Sarah-Jane Dias, Shahana Goswami, Boman Irani and Jimmy Shergill.

Meanwhile, his second release, Aamir Khan's 'Delhi Belly' is all set to hit the screens on July 1. Produced by Aamir Khan Prouductions, this comedy stars Imran Khan, Kunal Roy Kapoor, Poorna Jagannathan, Vir Das and Shenaz Treasurywala.

"Both the films makes me diverse as I debut this year with two completely different films. It is always exciting to do different things, " Abhinay said.
