Srikanth and Srushti Dange's film shoot objected by locals

We had earlier reported that

Srikanth and Srushti Dange

have teamed up for a suspense thriller, which is directed by

Mani Bharati

. While the shooting of the film titled '

The Journey of Bed

' kick-started with a pooja, earlier in March, in Ooty, it got delayed due to the lockdown. When the team resumed shooting recently, they faced opposition from the people of the area to shoot.

The team had to explain about the security arrangements we were making during the shooting, to the local people, who were worried about the COVID-19 situation, and finally completed the shooting in Ooty.

Talking about the film, director Mani Bharati said "It is a suspense thriller that has developed into a weekend movie. Srikanth plays a young man working in IT. The film tells the story of a murder that happens when Srikanth and his friends go on a picnic to Ooty and the problems they face in the aftermath. In short we have created this story centering on the fact that approaching a subject in a blindfold will get us into more trouble."

The team has spent almost 35 days shooting in the forest around Ooty. Actress Srushti Tange has apparently played a different character than she has ever played before. She has acted with short clothes in the extreme cold weather.
