Bollywood Actress What makes ‘1920′ a chilling experience for Adah Sharma?

Blue-eyed Adah Sharma with her girl-next-door look is making her debut with Vikram Bhatt’s supernatural thriller ‘1920’ produced by ASA Film Production and Enterprises Pvt Ltd. In the movie, Adah plays an Anglo Indian girl who falls in love with a Hindu boy and there are mysterious things that happen with them.

Paired with her is Rajneesh Duggal who again will make his debut in the film. The film is set in the era of 1920 and the characters will be seen dressed in the clothes that people wore in 1920.

The film being a supernatural thriller, Adah had a spooky and chilling experience while

shooting in a castle for the film. She recalls, “Everyone at Yorkshire said the castle we shot in was haunted, that a single old man stayed there and his wife died and her spirit still lives on there. There was a painting of a woman with dark black hair and blue eyes and we all thought I resembled her. So the photographer asked me to get a still photo taken standing in front of the painting. The caretaker said that any pictures taken in front of the paining don’t get developed. But we went ahead and took a few pictures. But when we transferred the pictures to a laptop, they all came blurred or blank!! That was quite spooky!!”

Well, the debut movie will quite be a memorable one for the girl, it seems!

A stroke of bad luck for Hansika Motwani

This was definitely a bad stroke of luck for pretty Hansika Motwani who has to opt out of her next film in the South ‘Pulli‘ because of unforeseen date problems. The film is directed by Surya and Hansika was supposed to star opposite Pawan Kalyan in the film. But Pawan Kalyan’s decision to enter politics tangled the disturbed the entire schedule for Pawan changed the dates for the shoot of the film and Hansika was in a tight spot as she had already committed the new dates to other projects.

Practical as she is, instead of inconveniencing the entire cast, Hansika has decided to gracefully bow out of the film and is awaiting another opportunity to work with Pawan Kalyan and the director Surya.
