Move over Bhoot and Phoonk. Ram Gopal Varma's Agyaat is here. The movie would be something he has never a done before. A film about an invisible predator creating havoc among a group of people in an isolated spot.

An old Hollywood formula.

"But never done properly in Hindi cinema. Something like the Poseidon Adventure or The Towering Inferno. These were about natural calamities striking a group of people. Mine would've a far less identifiable enemy, attacking a film crew on an exotic island," revealed the director. He also said that his media film Rann has been shifted to January 2009.

Agyaat, written by two Varma discoveries Punet Varma and Hari will be shot by a debutant cinematographer Surjo. It will be shot in Sri Lanka from next month.

"Agyaat, I'll shoot in the Sigria jungles of Sri Lanka. I recently went location hunting there. It was a stunning stretch of wilderness. I've never seen anything so frightening in my life. All the principal photography will be done in Sigria in 35 days. Then the special effects will be done in Mumbai. My Phoonk had very hastily done special-effects. Agyaat will be a first of its kind in terms of effects. In fact, Agyaat is being made primarily for the special effects."

"It's about a film crew that loses its way in the jungles. And something out there starts killing them one by one. Why a film crew? Because it's like a walking office. There's a narcissistic star, a subservient spotboy, cameraman, a frustrated action director, an assistant director who has a crush on the heroine, a self- obsessed actor, a producer who thinks the director is making a mess and a director who thinks he's the Steven Spielberg.

"All of them have their own mindscape in the given hierarchy. But the moment they're caught in a terror situation their inherent humanism comes to the surface."
