Campfire, gana and thrill

It looks like team Rum had an interesting time shooting the peppy number Peiyo Phobilia recently. Sharing their experience with DC, director Sai Bharat says, “We shot this fast-paced gana song in a dense forest with a campfire set-up near Padappai. Vivekh sir has shaken a leg for it. and so have the lead actors Hrishikesh, Sanchitha Shetty and Amzath Khan. So far, Vivekh sir hasn’t acted in any horror film, and it has come out quite well.”

Vivek of Jil Jung Juk fame has written the lyrics, while Anirudh is yet to decide who’ll croon the number. Sai adds, “60 per cent of the shoot is complete, and we’ll begin the final leg of shooting in some time. It will be shot on a grand scale with huge, expensive sets.” Touted to be a heist-horror — the first of its kind in Tamil cinema — the film also has Mia George and Narain (in a cop avatar), in crucial roles.
