Neil and Sonal in Anaconda land

By Hindustan Times

For their forthcoming horror thriller 3G, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sonal Chauhan was within the dense forests of Fiji, by a small lake, for the last ten days. Producer Viki Rajani of Nextgen Films says, “It is similar location where Anaconda (1997) was shot. The crew can be stationed
there for an additional month.”

Actor Sonal, who shot the climax within the jungles for 3 nights along side Neil, says, “Shooting within the forests where the long-lasting film Anaconda was shot was an exhilarating, but spooky experience. It kept raining throughout our shoot.” Of course, the truth that their very own film is a horror-thriller didn’t help either.

“People was sharing horror stories at the set and psyching me about anacondas! In the middle of that, Neil and that i needed to shoot on a boat,” adds Sonal.

Even though no anacondas showed up, the bugs and mosquitoes within the forest peeved Sonal. She adds, however, that safety precautions were taken. “We didn’t know the way deep the water was. All that lets see was pitch darkness or even hear hissing sounds. That was very scary,” says she.

About the film directed by debutants Shantanu and Sheershak, Viki adds, “3G is set how we've become depending on technology and the way it comes back to spook us. It’s a supernatural thriller. I can’t reveal anything at the moment as we've just started shooting.”
