"While I was listening to the narration, I thought the film would be fabulous. The script and screenplay attracted me," she said.

Talking about the genre of horror, Basu feels that it is at its nascent stage at the moment and has a lot of potential.

"I feel that horror is at the nascent stage at the moment. We can do so many different things with horror as a genre," she said.
