Mukesh Bhatt, Chairman and MD of Vishesh Films is truly excited at the prospect of associating with SPE. ''RAAZ TMC is witness to many firsts for us. It is our first venture for a film with SONY BMG, which is a major music label. To now have SPE distribute it in the Indian market is yet again a big first. Collaboration with these international giants is a landmark for us and for Bollywood itself. I hope for a long standing association with both companies for our films henceforth.''

These expectations only get heightened with the fact that the film comes from the Vishesh Films and SONY BMG stables. The deal with SPE for distribution now definitely ups the value of the entire project.
