'Jinn' based on real-life events: Director

Chennai, May 8 (IANS) Debutant director Sathish Chandrasekaran says upcoming Tamil horror-comedy "Jinn" is based on some of the experiences from his own life.

"'Jinn' is a usual travel story with an unusual episode featuring five friends on a trip to a hill station. Working on the script and screenplay was not as challenging as recalling some of my old memories on which this story is based," Sathish said in a statement.

The movie features Kalaiarasan, Hari, Kali Venkat, Arjunan and Munish Kanth in important roles.

"To make the movie more realistic, we shot in a two centuries old bungalow spread across fifteen acres where M.G Ramachandran's 'Anbe Vaa' and Rajinikanth's 'Thambikku Yendha Ooru' were earlier filmed," he said.

Sathish has produced the film in association with Rite Media Works.
