Rajani Bharadwaj Interview: Paranormal subjects are tricky
Even though Choomantar had horror elements, she says this film is very different and was drawn to Kamarottu for its strong script and fresh storytelling. Rajani says she enjoyed working with a director who knew how to draw the right performance from his actors. 'There are times when you're seen as just a glam doll. But here, I got to shed that image and truly be part of a story that focused on the genre. Interestingly, I hadn't seen the original Kamarottu Checkpost, and neither had most of us. The director's narration was so detailed and compelling, we didn't need to refer back. The film was inspired by an old magazine article about the real Kamarottu Checkpost, but Paramesh gave it his own creative twist.'
