Hate Story 4 is the fourth film in the series produced by Bhushan Kumar and the third to be directed by Vishal Pandya. The first film, which featured Paoli Dam in lead role, was directed by Vivek Agnihotri.
In
Hate Story 4, actress Urvashi Rautela had reportedly requested Vishal Pandya to tone down the intimate scenes. Vishal Pandya also told
DNA that
Hate Story 4 is inspired from a real life incident and therefore it will be different from the other films of the franchise in terms of its bold content.
The premise of all
Hate Story films have the theme of revenge at its center. Vishal Pandya joined the
Hate Story series from the second film, which re-launched the career of Surveen Chawla and marked television actor Jai Bhanushali's film debut. The film wasn't as successful at the box office as its successor, which starred Zarine Khan, Daisy Shah, Sharman Joshi and Karan Singh Grover.
Apart from the
Hate Story films, Vishal Pandya directed
Wahaj Tum Ho, which tanked at the box office.
Karan Wahi last television gig was
Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 8 while Urvashi Rautela was last seen in
Great Grand Masti and she appeared in a special song in Hrithik Roshan's
Kaabil.
