In a what can be called irony, the crew of upcoming horror-thriller 'Jithan 2', experienced supernatural presence when they were shooting at a prime location in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu. Film's director and producer Rahul said, “All horror films come with good and bad experiences. In our case, we had a bad experience when we were shooting at the suicide point in Kodaikanal, against the advice of the local people. During the course of the shoot, we experienced something eerie, and we knew it wasn't normal.” Calling it a strange experience, he said, “My cinematographer and I felt the supernatural presence. It freaked us out briefly, but we were glad nothing bad happened. It was extremely challenging to shoot under such circumstances but it was equally thrilling.”

A sequel of 'Jithan', the film stars Ramesh, Karunas, Yogi Babu and Robo Shankar. Shrushti Dange plays the ghost. “This is a horror story with a twist. Unlike the regular portrayal of ghosts, what audiences will get to see won’t make them squirm in their seats. There’s nothing devilish about the story, because we’ve tried to portray the ghost as a human being, and one with emotions,” said Rahul.
