Ek Thi Daayan - Spooky summer vacation treat

Ek Thi Daayan - Spooky summer vacation treat

This summer, cine-goers can look forward to a spooky vacation treat with the Emraan Hashmi-starrer Ek Thi Daayan.

Releasing worldwide on April 19, Ek Thi Daayan, directed by Kannan Iyer, is the first thriller-horror to have received a UA certificate from the Censors. Contrary to initial perception that the film would be limited only to an adult audience, the UA certificate clearly establishes the film’s enhanced potential and appeal among the youngsters as much as among adults.

Hashmi plays Bobo, a leading magician, suffering from constant hallucinations. His life is falling apart. When he is put through regression hypnosis, a terrifying childhood story surfaces, in which a daayan (witch), who has destroyed his family, returns to haunt him.

Says Vishal Bhardwaj, “The film draws inspiration from folklore. Along with Emraan, Konkona, Kalki and Huma, two young kids play major roles in the film. With schools going in for a summer break, this will turn out to be an enjoyable family outing.”

Remarks Ekta Kapoor, “While we have the added advantage of being children-friendly, the film also has all the commercial masala that the audience expects from an Emraan Hashmi film.”  

“Young couples who want to cuddle up during the spooks and scares have found their film to do so!” she winks.

SHRADHA KAPOOR in tete e tete with ANIZ FILMVALA

Vivacious bubbly and vulnerable that's what Shradha Kapoor [daughter of Shakti Kapoor] ,as she talks about her upcoming movie Aashique 2 she seem to be gung ho for her new release shortly.

I am totally in awe of my maasi Padmini Kholapure who she refers as her power and inspiration for the performance she gives.[though some accolades which she got for her performance in 'Luv Ka The End'].

She wants to steadily climb the ladder to reach the top as she is very selective about the project she is doing.She has some interesting movie in her kitty coming soon.

As for Aashique 2 it was a  challenge to give hundred percent to the character of a maharashtrian girl which she portrays in the film.

She promises that her co star Aditya Kapoor and her combination will continue the legacy of Romantic Films and will make the audience hooked to the music forever.

The movie release's on April 26, 2013.
