Even before he was seen in the horror flick Aatma with Bipasha Basu, Nawazuddin Siddiqui had done a scare flick, The Maya Tape, with Fukrey actress Vishakha Singh.

The film however has yet to see light of day.

Directed by Nikhil Allug, a former assistant to Rajkumar Hirani, it was shot around December 2011-January 2012 in Guwahati and Shillong along with several artistes from Assam and Meghalaya. This was before Nawaz was rediscovered in B-Town post Gangs of Wasseypur.

Admits Nawaz, `I shot for it a long time back but I have no clue when it will release. I have no news on it front from the makers.` Adds Vishaka, `We have shot in pitch darkness in Shillong for the eerie effect. Nawazuddin was quite a prankster on the sets scaring everyone on the sets especially during late night shoots. He used to call me shaatir (demon) aurat jokingly.`


A source associated with the film informs, `There was an effort to release it after Nawaz became the toast of Bollywood but things did not work out. Now there are efforts renewed to make the film get a release by the year-end.` Nawaz says, `I really hope they manage to do it.`
