For her horror film Rokkk, Tanushree Dutta has taken inspiration from Halle Berry's flick Gothika. As in the Hollywood film, Tanushree too is put away in a mental asylum.
This is Dutta's first horror flick and she has been watching scary films and reading books on the ghosts and supernatural happenings to help her get into the skin of her character. Rajesh Ranshinge, who earlier directed TV episodes of CID and Aahat for is directing the film.
It begins...In the film, the actresses' character has a mental breakdown and is admitted to an asylum. It starts getting scary when she starts to see and feel things around her.
Tanushree says, "I play a really scary character. It is a role of a young woman married to an older guy (Sachin Kadekar), I play his second wife. I got a lot of pointers and help from Rajesh.u00a0 I also looked up things on the net and studied for my character a lot."
She denies the role is inspired by Gothika,u00a0 "There are many films that show the female lead put in an asylum and many others where the female lead plays a haunted character. Mine has hardly anything to do with it. Even the story of our film Rokkk is completely different." The film also stars Udita Goswami.
Gothika what? Dr Miranda Grey (Berry) is a brilliant criminal psychiatrist. However, after an auto accident, she wakes up only to find that she has been convicted for the murder of her husband Doug. With fragmented memories of the alleged crime, she begins to dig deeper into her husband's past. Meanwhile, the ghost of a girl called Rachel who keeps saying 'not alone' haunts her. As Miranda learns more about her husband with clues from Rachel, she realises that Doug is not who he seems at all.
