Production

Screenwriter Shagufta Rafiq stated in an interview that the story is based on Sant Kabir's idiom, "Bura jo dekhan main chala, Bura na milya koi; Jo dil khoja apna, Ta mujh sa bura na koi", which means that the evil is within oneself and that is the message of the film. Vikram Bhatt (who was the original Raaz director) was replaced by Mohit Suri.

Multiple scenes in the film are borrowed from other horror films; the bathtub horror scenes and the well in the end are similar to The Ring, the scene where a man is found inside the hidden roof floor of a house is similar to The Grudge, the future prediction, plot, the road accident with the wild bulls and various other sequences were taken from films such as Final Destination, Mirrors and the TV series Heroes.

Kangana Ranaut replaced Bipasha Basu as the female lead, playing Nandita, a supermodel. Amrita Rao was offered the role, but declined. To prepare for the role, Ranaut had to reportedly undergo many different looks and even changed her hair colour to red. Emraan Hashmi was cast as Prithvi, a painter with no contact to the outside world, replacing Dino Morea as the male lead.

Filming began in June 2008 in Shimla. Some parts of filming took place in Mumbai. Kangana was paid ₹6 million for her role in the film. The film received an A certificate from the Censor Board of Film Certification. Mukesh Bhatt however denied these claims stating the film received a U/A certificate. Filming completed on 10 November 2008 in Mumbai.

Sushant Singh Rajput assisted director Mohit Suri during the making of the film.
