After having done films like Annarth and Bomsi U and Me, model turned actor Gautam Rode is all set to begin a new innings in the industry with Ram Gopal Varma's Agyaat. The actor who earlier turned his attention towards television with serials like Baa Bahoo aur Baby, Lucky and Parayadhan says that his hard work has finally borne fruits.

Gautam recalls, "When I got a call from Ram Gopal Varma's office I was on cloud nine. My meeting with him lasted for an hour and he narrated me the film and there was no question of me refusing to work with him".

Like most of the RGV films, this is yet another horror venture where a film crew gets stuck in a jungle and an unknown predator starts killing them one after the other.

"It was a great experience shooting for the film and we had to shoot deep inside a jungle in Sri Lanka known as the Sigiriya forest. We were there for over a month. I won't deny the fact that it was a bit scary.

I play a superstar in the film. My character is called Sharman Kapoor and he is short tempered and doesn't listen to anyone, " reveals Gautam.

"My character interacts with every other character in the film. It's a complete masala film where there is action, dance and songs and is very fast paced" he further adds.

Shooting in the strife ridden area like Sri Lanka says Gautam was very unnerving, "but we were shooting away from the actual area and the war turned intense after we completed shooting the film.

Shooting for a horror film has been an experience by itself. It really saps your energy" reveals Gautam. Soon Gautam will be seen in Star One's miniseries Shhh...Phir Koi Hai.
