Debutante director Abhinay Deo, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming thriller 'Game', says that he aims to revive the genre of whodunit mysteries in Bollywood with the film.

"Not many filmmakers go for making thrillers as it is difficult to make and write. It is a difficult task. Fewer producers opt for such kind of films as the repeat value is less. With 'Game' I am trying to bring back the magic of thriller..the whodunit classic murder mystery type of films," Abhinay said in an interview.

'Game' is a tale spanning five international cities; a slick edge-of-the-seat thriller with twists and turns involving love, revenge, retribution, and good old-fashioned murder. Everyone is a suspect, and every suspect has a motive. And the director hopes that the flick fares well at the BO.

"I was not sceptical of doing the thriller. I don't think I have taken a risk. I believe that our hard work will show up..we have tried our best, covered every aspect to make it a good film," Abhinay said.

Abhinay, who trained as an architect and later joined the advertisement world in 1993, said, "I am somebody who would direct a film purely on the basis of a script. I liked the script..it was too exciting and engaging. The film has a very interesting concept...an edgy thriller."

Asked if he tried to ape 'Teesri Manzil', the classic thriller movie, Abhinay, said, "There is no similarity between 'Game' and 'Teesri Manzil'. The film is very much original. The writer Althea Delmas Kaushal has done a fabulous job. With 'Game' we are bringing back the genre of thriller and murder mystery films and not recreating the magic of any particular film."
