Horror story

The horror serial Aahat (Sony) is under attack. Petitions have been filed contending that it is promoting superstition. But sources say it is a conspiracy to bring down a popular serial. Producer B P Singh says he is shocked and that this is the first time something so untoward has happened to him, "It’s not a horror show but an entertainment package.”

Spirited show

Mangal Dhillon is back with a television docu-series on the supernatural called Beyond Logic, which he is producing, directing and presenting. He went to the Nepal for the shoot. And guess who he met there? Hold your breath, for Dhillon interviewed spirits! Apparently, with the help of a witchdoctor, he roped in around 50 "spirits" in five days! Footnote: Dhillon is still in a trance after this unearthly experience.

Guns away

Director Puneet Issar is going overboard with Hindustani. The unit went to Patiala where Black Cat commandos are trained, to shoot with real rifles. But thingsbecame too realistic when a AK-47s accidentally fired while actor Sudhir Mattoo was clowning around. Real bullets whizzed past Mattoo’s head. Well, sometimes it does not pay to be real!
