Awaaham’, which is being made trilingually in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, is jointly being produced by Prashanth Burra and P Chandra Sekhar under Sarath Movies and Zed 3 Pictures and is being directed by Milind Gadakar. It is being presented by Ram Gopal Varma.
In a recent press meet held at Prasad Labs, producers of the film says that the movie will hit the big screens on April 16 and not on April 9 as said by some sources earlier.
During the press meet, RGV said, “We are making ‘Awaaham’ as the sequel to ‘Phoonk’. Fear is a universal feeling, so one can watch this film even if they had not watched ‘Phoonk’. Stephen King, the greatest horror writer mentioned in one of his books that a man will become a ghost if he dies without fulfilling his desires. So taking that point as basic plot this film is being crafted. How a happy family gets disturbed due to a ghost and becomes restless is shown in this film. In general, the films show ghosts in white sarees, but I’ve shown the ghost in an orange saree in my earlier film ‘Ratri’ and in this film the ghost will be seen in a zari saree. We are releasing the film on April 16th. So a contest for this film will be held. Whoever watches the film alone in theater without any fear will be given the prize. We will come to know whether the person saw the film with fear or fearless feeling through ECG machine.”
The movie has Sudeep, Amrutha Kanvilkar, Ehsaas Channa, Anu Ansari, Rishab Jain, Ganesh Yadav and Manish Khanna in the main roles.
