A source close to both of them points out, `Vikram and Bhushan have been childhood friends. Vikram has always admired his friend's cinematography skills. He thought this would be the perfect project to helm.` The film is the sequel of Vikram's 2008 film 1920.
The source adds, `The film has been shot at beautiful locales. Bhushan has coupled great visual effects with never seen before-horror, and it seems like the perfect project for a debutant director.`
Bhushan says, `In fact, Vikram gave me my first break as a cinematographer and I have also assisted his father. He has always been a dear friend and a mentor to me.`
