The
team
of
forthcoming
horror-thriller
Jithan
2,
a
sequel
to
2005
film
Jithan,
experienced
supernatural
presence
when
they
were
shooting
at
a
prime
location
in
Kodaikanal,
Tamil
Nadu.
The
film's
director
and
producer
Rahul
shared
his
'eerie'
experience
during
the
film's
shooting
schedule.
"All
horror
films
come
with
good
and
bad
experiences.
In
our
case,
we
had
a
bad
experience
when
we
were
shooting
at
the
suicide
point
in
Kodaikanal,
against
the
advice
of
the
local
people.
During
the
course
of
the
shoot,
we
experienced
something
eerie,
and
we
knew
it
wasn't
normal," Rahul
told
IANS.
Although
nothing
bad
happened
on
the
sets,
Rahul
still
recalls
it
as
a
strange
experience.
"My
cinematographer
and
I
felt
the
supernatural
presence.
It
freaked
us
out
briefly,
but
we
were
glad
nothing
bad
happened.
It
was
extremely
challenging
to
shoot
under
such
circumstances
but
it
was
equally
thrilling," he
said.
Slated
to
release
on
Friday,
the
film
stars
Jithan
Ramesh,
Karunas,
Yogi
Babu
and
Robo
Shankar.
Actress
Shrushti
Dange
plays
the
ghost.
"This
is
a
horror
story
with
a
twist.
Unlike
the
regular
portrayal
of
ghosts,
what
audiences
will
get
to
see
won't
make
them
squirm
in
their
seats.
There's
nothing
devilish
about
the
story,
because
we've
tried
to
portray
the
ghost
as
a
human
being,
and
one
with
emotions,"
said
Rahul,
adding
that
the
story
emphasises
that
there
are
also
good
spirits.
The
film
will
have
a
connection
with
the
prequel,
confirms
the
director.
"In
'Jithan',
Ramesh
dies
in
the
end.
In
this
part,
however,
he's
reborn.
There's
lot
of
visual
effects
(VFX)
work
involved
and
we
worked
with
the
best
in
the
business
to
get
the
most
satisfying
output,"
he
said.
On
working
with
Ramesh,
Rahul
said:
"As
a
director,
when
one
is
clear
of
what
he
wants
from
Ramesh,
then
he's
a
treat
to
work
with".
