Vardhan Puri narrates a horrific incident while shooting Aseq in London: “I randomly got attacked by a six and half feet tall unclothed lady in my hotel room”

Vardhan, who is eagerly awaiting the release of his first horror film Aseq on 23rd June on JioCinema, recalls an unpleasant, shocking and horrific incident that took place on the set of the film in London. Vardhan reveals, "I got attacked by a six and half feet tall unclothed lady in my hotel room in my hot room early in the morning one day and had to defend myself somehow before she tried to strangle my neck. After the experience, I could not be sure if the lady was a human being. It was extremely traumatic to say the least and a lot of people from the unit witnessed the madness. I still suffer from PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) with regard to this incident".

"The experience of shooting my first ever horror film was very gut wrenching and a learning one. I made and forged many new friendships while shooting for the film. I fell absolutely in love with the mind of writer and director Sarim Momin who ensured that the movie was made exactly the way it was written", he adds.

Talking about his fascination for the horror genre, Vardhan informs, "I'm a huge fan of horror films and the man who brought me very close to this genre is the great, Ram Gopal Varma. One of my all time favourite horror films has to be 'Bhoot' which still stands the test of time. Also, 'Raat' made by him is also quite amazing.

Directed by Sarim Momin, Aseq featuring Vardhan Puri, Sonnalli Seygall and Siddhant Kapoor will be streaming free on JioCinema from 23rd June.
