Among all of his films, Rahul Sadasivan's most critically acclaimed horror film is surely 'Bhoothakaalam'. In an earlier exclusive chat with ETimes, the director told us, "I wanted my film to have some quality of realism, even though it’s a fictional story. The journey of these characters and their self discovery itself is the crux of the movie. Inorder to tell an effective story, you need to breathe life into convincing characters, for which you need powerful performances.

All these completely relied on the performance, and the setup we created. The treatment that we gave to the narrative was distinct,"
