Jai Quehaeni picks a horror thriller
The talented actress wants to take it slow in Kollywood.
Actress Jai Quehaeni stepped into the industry with a moving performance in Lakshmy Ramakrishnan’s Aarohanam. She then went on to be part of two films — Charles Shafiq Karthiga and a thriller film titled Maiem. Now, she has wrapped up the shooting of Iravil, which is directed by debutant Ratan Trivikram.
Talking about the movie, Jai says, “Iravil is a horror thriller about five youngsters who get into a predicament in the city — how they come out of it forms the crux of the story. There are two female leads in the film and I will be sharing screen space with Neha Powar and three other new faces — Prabhu, Sam, and Aasif.”
Jai claims that it was fun shooting for the movie. “We shot a majority of the portions in Chennai inside a bungalow. Ratan started this project last year and we got trapped in the bungalow when the floods struck. It was scary as we had to wait a day for someone to rescue us! This is also one of the reasons why the film was delayed. We had to restore the house completely so that we did not miss continuity. It was a crazy experience,” she explains.
The talented actress wants to take it slow in Kollywood — “I am extremely picky at this point in time, I want to play it along, and do different roles.”
