Bipasha has done films like Raaz, Raaz 3 and Aatma in the horror genre and will next be seen in Vikram Bhatt's Creature.

"Everyone keeps asking me why I do horror films. I don't know what it is but there is some kind of connect. I feel the genre is not so important the story telling is. In a film like Creature, where I have a fantastic role then why shouldn't I do it. In real life, I still get scared soon.Nothing has changed on that front," Bipasha told reporters at the trailer launch of the film.

"You can call me whatever you want 'horror queen','fear goddess' or anything I am happy with it. I have done lot of supernatural films and all kind of films have that element of fear, horror. Creature is different from ghost, spirit and supernatural films. It has an element of fear," Bipasha said.

Creature 3D is India's first 3D monster thriller film directed by Vikram Bhatt and stars Bipasha and Pakistani actor Imran Abbas in lead roles.

"It was very difficult film for me to shoot as I had to imagine the Creature. But Vikram's guidance helped me a lot. We used to do every shot at least three times due to technical reasons. It was quite an exhausting film for everyone. I have not done a film like this before," she said.

Bipasha launched the 3D theatrical trailer of the movie on July 16 with T-Series' Bhushan Kumar, Vikram and his mentor Mahesh Bhatt.

Apart from Bipasha and Vikram, the film does not have any known faces but the actress feels the story will bring audiences. "There is no pressure as such. It is a very entertaining and thrilling film. We have a Creature which nobody else has. For me the biggest co-star in today's time is Creature as he is not there in any other film," Bipasha said.

There was a priest called for the launch and he was there to tie a holy thread on Bipasha's wrist, Vikram said.

The film has been produced by Bhushan and Krishan Kumarunder the banner of T-Series and is set to release on September 12.

On her last release Humshakals where Vashu Bhagnani had openly said he would think twice before working with the actress again, she said, "I respect Vashu Bhagnani and theother producer Fox Star Studios. As with the latter, I have given my biggest hit film Raaz, I have a lot of love for them and I wish them all the best."

Bipasha was reportedly not happy with her role in the Sajid Khan film. But the 35-year-old actress reveals she does not mind doing movies with multiple stars. "I have done a lot of films with multiple stars over the years. I have enjoyed the process of doing both multi and solo films equally. The idea is to connect with the film, live with the experience and enjoy it. It is very rare when it is not enjoyable and it is sad when that doesn't happen," sheadded.
