In 'Murder', the character played by Emraan was killed in the end. This also means that it is not quite a sequel in the making here but is instead a franchise which is being exploited while bringing on the similar genre that results in instant familiarity for the audience.

"'Murder 2' has been inspired by legendary stories of such serial killers and other dark characters. Some of these stories have been myths while others are facts but Bhatts and (director) Mohit Suri have tried to incorporate those elements which are the most intriguing", informs a source, "You pick up any major city in India and it has it's own story to tell when it comes to such serial killings. Mumbai has its own share while Delhi too has it's own. Goa setting comes into picture here because it again has a history of serial killers."

So while there have been so many murmurs, rumours and speculations around Emraan's role in 'Murder 2', one asks the man at the hot seat to spill the beans himself.

"Well, I obviously can't talk much about it right now because it is a suspense film", says Emraan, "However I can admit that the film deals with a serial killer which is played by me".

With Jacqueline Fernandez in the lead, 'Murder 2' releases all over on 8th July.
