Who gave this actress sleepless nights?
Hubballi girl Madhuri Itagi is best known for her role in Sharan’s comic caper Rambo. The model-turned-actress makes her horror film debut with the bilingual Ouija that is all set to release this week. In a chat with BT, Madhuri tells us why shooting for the movie was like being on a holiday with friends. Excerpts…
Acting in a horror flick
I like watching horror films, but I am afraid of them as well, so I need someone with me when I watch them.
This is the first time that I have acted in such a genre and it was a beautiful experience. The producer (Vikram Raju) and director (Rajkumar Reddy) are old friends, so I had a blast.
Sleepless nights
We didn’t know that the resort that we were staying in Langkawi, Malaysia, was haunted. My co-stars had some spooky experiences and my phone charger also burst all of a sudden one night. We could hear a lot of cats making strange noises through the night and all this gave me some sleepless nights.
A tomboy camerawoman
I play a camerawoman in the movie. My character is a tomboy, who is strong and confident. I behave like a tomboy with the producer and director, which is why they thought that I fit the bill perfectly.

Fun in Langkawi
I enjoyed myself on our schedule in Langkawi. While my co-stars went back to their rooms after pack-up, I went out and enjoyed the nightlife there. I was always having fun and it was more like a holiday for me, since I knew the whole team.
Professional friends
Working with several co-stars means that there are issues at times. We did have our share of arguments while shooting for songs, but it was all healthy and only added to the final product. I am friends with Gayathri (Iyer) and Kadambari (Jethwani); they are like my professional friends.
