Actors have to go through immense preparations when are working on any project. Especially when it is horror or a drama film, the intensity of their work is comparatively more. A recent happening while shooting a horror film is gaining all eyeballs currently. A video has been going viral on the internet which sees a Cambodian actress being possessed by a ghost while shooting for a horror movie. The actress apparently got possessed on the sets and even tried to harm her co-star. Some media reports state she tried to coke another actress with a wire and witnessing this incident put the crew in trauma.
While the non-believers may say it is all a stunt, there have been incidences which claim that shooting for such scenes, does attract negative energy. The video which has been shared online by one of the crew members sees the actress dressed in her character, sitting silently in the room and then walking across the room while the rest of the crew stood in shock. There still haven’t been any claims of authenticity of this incident.
Take a look at the video of the possessed actress here:
Without agreeing or disagreeing with whatever may have happened actually on the sets, there have been instances even in Bollywood. Although comparatively Bollywood horror genre remains unexplored, few actors have had paranormal experiences on shoot.
Ranveer Singh, while he was preparing for the role of Bajirao Peshwa for the film Bajirao Mastani, had a remotely close experience. We have read and heard the actor talk about his intense preparations which involved him staying aloof, locking himself in the room and sorts. While talking in one of the interviews, he had revealed about a ‘trippy experience’ he encountered. He felt some presence around him and said it was Bajirao Peshwa himself. He was quoted, "One day, some white dust settled on a black wall on the set and the dust took the shape of Bajirao. It has the turban, the eyes, nose, the mooch and the arms." Real or not, the zany actor managed to play the character flawlessly!
Another incident had happened on the sets of Gunah in Mukesh Mills. Bipasha Basu has acted in several horror films but on the sets of this film, she experienced some strange things. In some of the rooms, she could just not learn her lines. Even the director observed some strange things. While the same shoot was going on, another girl was shooting for another project. She started behaving possessed and died later. Since that incident, even Bipasha has refused to shoot at that location.
Actresses Soha Ali Khan and Mahi Gil have also experienced paranormal presence while shooting for ‘Gangs of Ghost.’ The team was shooting at a haveli in Gujarat and both the actresses felt someone was following them. They even heard some strange noises coming from empty rooms. Soha had said, "Without wasting any time, all the cast and crew members packed up to avoid any unwanted happenings."
We cannot completely deny or agree with the existence of spirits. But there have been so many experiences while shooting on such projects which involve ghosts and paranormal activities. If the video of the Cambodian actress is genuine, then it is quiet a scary thing, which could have proved dangerous to the members of the team. Do you'll believe in the existence of ghosts? Do let us know your views on the same!
