Script is the king of this horror film titled Jesi

After

Nagesh Thiraiyarangam

, Isaq is ready with his next. Titled

Jesi

, the director says this one is also a horror film, but will not have the usual clichés that’s associated with movies that belong to that genre. “I’ve made this film in an experimental style; there won’t be any comedy track or other jump scare elements. The story is the king,” he begins.Talking about the script, he says, “An aspiring director goes to a new place to write a story. And his wife follows him to the new house because she believes he is having an affair. There, a spirit disturbs the couple, and doesn’t allow the man to complete his script. But the two of them don’t tell each other that they are experiencing paranormal activities. So, whose ghost is it, and what does it want? This is the crux of the film, and the spook is in the way the story moves ahead.”While Sri Priyanka, who played one of the leads in his debut film

Agadam

, has been cast as the female lead, debutant Gemini plays the hero. “There’s also another debutante,

Lakshmi Kiran

, in the lead. None of the cast or crew members were aware of the complete script while shooting; even the cinematographer had no idea about it. It’s only when I screened the film for them that they realised why I’d asked them to shoot a few scenes in a certain way,” Isaq says with a smile.The film has been shot in a resort in Puducherry. “It’s difficult to get permission to shoot in the French colony there, but we found a resort that could be reached only by a othaiadi padhai. The location is a strong point of the film and plays an integral role in the script. Post-production work is almost complete and I’m hoping to release the film sometime in September,” he signs off.
