Saptaswa Basu whose last film ‘
Pratidwandi
’, a crime thriller, saw
Saswata Chatterjee and
Rudranil Ghosh opposite each other is back with yet another interesting film ‘
Jotugriha
’. Starring
Bonny Sengupta and
Anamika Chakraborty in the lead, the horror-thriller will soon go on the floors.
The title of the film might give you an immediate reference to Mahabharata but the director insists this film has no connection to the story of the epic. “Thematically I wanted to refer to a house or foundation that’s unstable, highly combustible and catches fire easily. What happens to the characters in that house metaphorically creates a greater part of the story. So we decided to justify the title with this interesting word,” says Saptaswa.
Without divulging much about the storyline the director gives a sneak peek into the film’s plot. “A city guy takes up a job as a manager in a hotel in a town up in the hills. Soon he faces a mysterious energy surrounding a seemingly haunted mansion where he meets a local girl. The story continues with engaging twists and turns which uncover some buried secrets from the past,” shares the director adding that he wants to create a sense of doom and horror in the minds of the viewers.
