Speaking out for the first time Shyam Ramsay from the Ramsay house of horrors says, `Miss Lovely was nothing but a desperate attempt to make a Dirty Picture kind of film using our family's name in the pre-release publicity.`
Shyam says the Ramsays feel victimized. `We were targeted,made to look like cheap sex peddlers in Miss Lovely.The fact is Ramsay is a brand name. We are a reputed family with decades of cinema to our credit. The whole film industry knows it. If someone still chose to portray us as sleaze hawkers it is not our problem.`
Shyam who is all set to hit theatres with his new horror film Neighbour says content would always be kin to Ramsays' brand of horror. `My new film Neighbour is about a seemingly normal neighbour who turns out to be a vampire.We've cast a super-model Roushika Rekhi as a sexy vampire.`
Shyam asserts that the new Ramsay production abides by the banner's reputation. `Neighbour has both the horror and sex quotients which are expected from us. The Ramsays have a strong image for a particular kind of cinema. We are not about to let down our audience just because some filmmaker has chosen to portray us as sleazy.`
If the Ramsays feel so strongly against Ashim Ahluwalia's film why not take legal action against it?`It's okay. Miss Lovely came and went. Not too many people saw it,` argues Shyam Ramsay.
