Mumbai, April 27 (IANS) Actress Gul Panag, who started her career in Bollywood in 2003 with the movie 'Dhoop', will be sharing screen with Erica Fernandes in the short film 'The Haunting' where she is investigating a murder mystery.
Gul said: "So, my character is an investigator. She works with the police, she is a psychoanalyst and she's profiling this character, who allegedly has committed this murder and she believes that this girl is making up stories."
The 44-year-old actress has been part of a number of TV shows and films. She acted in movies like 'Dor', 'Hello', 'Summer 2007', 'Straight', 'Ab Tak Chappan 2', 'Ambarsariya', 'Student of the Year 2', among others. Gul also hosted a few shows such as 'Kismey Kitnaa Hai Dum', 'Musafir Hoon Yaaron', and was also seen in web series like 'The Family Man', 'Paatal Lok', and many more.
The story is surrounded by supernatural incidents that took place after the murder of a woman whose sister tries to explain that she was killed by a demon but no one believes her. Later, she is also shown to be possessed by the demons. The lead character played by Erica and her story about the evil forces or demons.
Directed by Tanveer Bookwala, 'The Haunting' features Erica Fernandes alongside Prakruti Mishra and Gul Panag.
Set in the backdrop of the 1971 War, with India backing freedom fighters in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) against Pakistan's oppression, and Pakistan attempting to forcefully bring India to the negotiating table by advancing across our western borders, this film is expected to stir the spirit of patriotism.
Industry legends Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Padmini Kolhapure, Anil Agarwal, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Alka Yagnik, and Shabbir Kumar have lent their voices for the song.
The audience will get to see her in a never-seen-before avatar performing extreme physical training routines alongside the Veerangana Force, India's first female commando unit to tackle rising crime against women in the state.
Shot by ace photographer Taras Taraporvala, the ad features Malhotra with a ghastly 'cut' on her face seemingly made by an 'ankus' (a sharp-edged device used to control elephants), asking her fans to "try to relate" to the animal's fate by never riding an elephant. Her hairstyling and make-up were done by Natasha Mathias.
The world knew that the child had been named 'Jeh' -- his maternal grandfather Randhir Kapoor, in fact, had also referred to him as 'Jeh' when someone asked him for his name in response to the Bollywood veteran's recent tweet that he was visiting his grandchild.
