The shooting of 'Raaz 3' was both a physically and emotionally draining process for actress Esha Gupta who was quite literally made to face her worst fear.

A certain scene in the 3D horror film required the actress to stand by the edge of a 50 feet high cliff, as she hallucinates falling off. While the actress who suffers from the fear of heights suggested using a body double, director Vikram Bhatt insisted on Esha doing it herself. To add to the situation, the scene was shot in the later hours of the night, adding to the Esha's fright.

The actress however,decided to give in and face her fears head on. "I suffer from acrophobia and had to stand on a 50 feet high cliff. We were shooting for it at night and it made me more nervous," said Esha.

The 3D horror film, starring Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta follows the journey of a fading superstar's revenge against a rising star and is set to release on September 7, 2012.
