Production

Originally it was thought that Bipasha Basu would be called for Raaz 2 since she hasn't worked with the Bhatts post Jism. But later it was announced that she has been dropped and Kangana Ranaut took her place.

Music

Originally Nadeem-Sharavan, the musical duo were to direct the music of "Raaz 2" but recent news have come up that Mukesh Bhatt has sacked Nadeem-Shravan and replaced them with Pritam, the Bengali music director. He will now compose the soundtrack for Raaz 2 and has requested a name change. The composer says, "I have asked Mukesh Bhatt to change the title of the film. Because it’s going to be a huge task to even touch the music of the original. When the music of the earlier film came out it was playing everywhere. It was coming out of every taxi and every rickshaw…it’s scary!"

As to why Nadeem and Shravan were replaced… no one knows. [ [http://www.radiosargam.com/films/archives/11313/nadeem-and-shravan-sacked-from-raaz-2.html Nadeem-Shravan sacked from Raaz 2!] ]
