Mumbai, June 12 (IANS): He is aware that "Hate Story 3", the third instalment of the Bollywood erotic thriller franchise film, will have bold scenes but Sharman Joshi isn't apprehensive about it.

Sharman told IANS: "I have not seen both the 'Hate Story' movies, but I have heard this story and it's a fine drama. Apart from that, it's an erotic thriller, so there will be some shedding of clothes and lovemaking scenes. I have done such things in my earlier films. It's part of my work, so I don't think much about it. I don't have any apprehensions about going bold."

He says he doesn't have any reservations about the erotic genre as he himself enjoys it.

"I feel the Bhatt camp has been doing it successfully, and now T-Series is indulging in that genre. Apart from eroticism, there is a strong drama in it and the audience should enjoy it," he added.

To be directed by Vishal Pandya, "Hate Story 3" will also feature Zarine Khan.

It was earlier reported that the makers have replaced Sharman and have brought in Gurmeet Choudhary in his place.

Clarifying it, Sharman said: "It is a film I wanted to do, but the dates were preponed, so I was out of it. But later they went back to the old schedule and they asked me if I would be interested, so I went back. That's all I know."
