Stage 12 director Satish

Here's a report of on the location. 

“This is a remake of Bengali 

blockbuster film BHOOTER BHABISHYAT, 

directed by Anik Duitta, released in 2012. It is a 

ghost story, it is meant to be a comic entertainer 

and Satish Kaushik has justified with the script. I 

hope everyone will like this film.” said Ratan Jain.

 Director –actor Satish Kaushik   has not acted in this film, meanwhile producer and his actors, specially Sharman Joshi, Meera Chopra and Mahie Gill want to see him on the screen. Apart from helming , Satish Kaushik has also penned the dialogue of the film. He said, “Ratan Jain has bought the remake rights of the film, which was a horror-based comic entertainer. I have not acted in this film. This is my first full-fledged comedy film as a director and I want to give the best. I want to justice with its Bengali version. I had written comedy film JAANE BHI DO YAARO and I have done comic characters  in many films. It was great to direct this film."

“The film’s story is about a haunted house which is being pulled down and being replaced with a swanky shopping mall. Apparently, the ghosts who belong to different era consider this as their home so what happens later on shapes the rest of the story. All ghosts  of the film are alive and behave like  real, common people. Today is the last day of our shoot. We are wrapping up and we are shooting for a dance number  which is part of the film. It's a very interesting song with typical Maharashtrian and Bombaiyaa beat. The song is composed by Dharam and Sandeep and is sung by Aishwarya Nigam. Himanshu is our choreographer.” Satish Kaushik added.

Mahie Gill plays a ghost said: “I thoroughly enjoyed the dance number Aala re aala mast bhoot aala, filmi gaane par naache Madhubala. If the song came on Navratri, it could have created a sensation.  I am  dressed  up in lenhga-choli and nathuni. Comedy is new for me, but it was great fun to be part of this film.”

Sharman Joshi believes in the ghosts. He says, “I’m a ghost writer in the film and in real life believe in ghosts, in energy which is not tangible. Effectively spirits and all also... I believe are possible and very much in our lives.”

 Meera Chopra who plays a major role was also was present. She is Priyanka Chopra and Parineeti Chopra's cousin and is a well known face in South. She has given a lot of hits in South and now debuting in Bollywood. She looks more confident. She says, “Hum sab bhoot hain.  I’m also acting in  Vikram Bhatt’s 1920 LONDON. “

 The film stars Mahie Gill, Sharman Joshi, Meera Chopra, Chunky Pandey, Anupam Kher and Saurabh Shukla. About Paoli Dam Satish Kaushik told, “Yes, Poali Dam has done an item number in this film. As real bar, in this film this is a ghost bar, where ghosts come.”

“This is fully an entertainer comedy  and we have completed it in 45 days shooting schedule.” said Satish Kaushik and he's been busy in the shooting.
