'Peigal Jaakirathai' not a regular horror-comedy: Eshanya

Actress Eshanya insists that forthcoming Tamil horror-comedy "Peigal Jaakirathai" has something different to offer compared to other films in the same genre that have released in the last few years.

"My last release was Telugu horror-comedy 'Raju Gari Gadhi', and I can certainly say it's very different from this film. Although they belong to the same genres, their presentation and stories are different. 'Peigal...' is not a regular horror-comedy," Eshanya, who plays the lead in the film, told IANS.

"Here's a story that has given the usual horror film a different spin," she said.

In the film, which will release on Friday, she plays a college girl. The film's story revolves around events that take place after she meets a man.

The film also stars Jeevarathanam, Thambi Ramaiah and Rajendran in important roles.

Talking about her experience, she said: "It was so much fun acting alongside Jeeva and Thambi Ramaiah sir. They were patient and helpful at all times."

This will be Eshanya's second horror film release in a row and she says she's game to do more films in the same genre.

"I really enjoyed working in both these films. In fact, I started shooting for 'Peigal...' soon after I wrapped up 'Raju Gari Gadhi'. I really didn't feel any hangover of the genre. As long as the films are different in some ways, I don't mind doing another horror film right away," she said.

The actress has signed another Tamil film for which she will start shooting from February 2016 in Paris.

She also has a Hindi project in her kitty, while discussions are going on for her next Telugu outing.
