JINN FILMED AT MGR AND RAJINI’S SHOOTING SPOTS

The title ‘Jinn’ sounds tipsy but the young debut director Sathish Chandrasekaran says it's tricky. Jinn is named after angels and holy spirits, this is a story based on a dread ground. The film is about 5 friends, and among them 1 is possessed. The horror comedy film is jointly produced by Rite Media Works and Sathish Chandrasekaranin Kadhaigal.

Director Sathish says, "Jinn is a usual travel story with an unusual episode where five friends played by Kalaiarasan, Hari, Kaali Venkat, Arjunan and Muneesh Kanth plan a hilly travel to Vaalpaarai. It’s the happiest moment to be with friends for an outstation trip, but not with a possessed pal.

Jinn is a horror comedy venture with all added ingredients. To make Jinn more realistic we had a big hunt for the location and finally ended up with a two century old humongous bungalow alienated by fifteen acres, where MGR’s Anbe Vaa and Rajini’s Thambikku Yendha Ooru were filmed.

Based on the script, the primitive required element was darkness which was abounded but the bungalow was surrounded by wandering carnivores and we had to take the help of high beam lights and forest guards to secure us.

I can say it was an easy task for me to work on the script and the screenplay. The only tough job was to recall my old memories closing my eyes, YES Jinn is a real story based on my own experience, I was one among the five”.
