‘Hide N Seek’ Movie’s director, Shawn Arranha has said that in his directorial debut he has used a ‘claustrophobic technique’ that will leave audience with a feeling of entrapment.
"I have shot the film in a very different style. I've used a claustrophobic technique. Nobody has tried it yet in this magnitude for a film here. It has mostly been used for short films," Arranha said.
"The audience will actually feel edgy as the story will progress. They will find themselves stuck in the film. They will associate a lot with it. I am really hoping it (the technique) works and who knows it might become a trend," he added.
The movie is written and produced by Apoorva Lakhia. It is a suspense thriller filmed completely in Ahmedabad. It is being presented by Moser Baer.
"I've been with this team since the last 10 years and this is Apoorva's story merged with my style of technique... he really liked the treatment," said Arranha.
Releasing on January 8, the 105-minute thriller is about four friends portrayed by Purab Kohli, Arjan Bajwa, Ayaaz Khan and Samir Kochhar. It also has Miss India Amruta Patki as a debutante.
Arranha said, "I can't talk much about the technique or else it would give away the film. The whole feel of the film is such that the audience will feel they are stuck in a cubic box and that they can't get out of it."
It took only 27 days to finish the film.
"We started with one concept and one thought. The script and the technique, everything else were planned. Moreover the casting really worked because they (actors) pushed themselves and that is why we could finish it in only 27 days and within budget," he said.
Arranha began his career as a production assistant on Channel V and then worked as an assistant director with various production houses for five years.
Later he worked as an assistant director and chief first assistant director with movies like ‘Saathiya’, ‘Boom’, ‘Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost’, ‘Lakshya’, ‘The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey’, ‘Ek Ajnabee’, ‘Shootout At Lokhandwala’ and ‘Mission Istaanbul’.
"Audiences are getting smarter and they want something new every weekend. I am expecting audiences to accept me because it is something extremely new I am bringing. And I am going to come out with different techniques in every film I do," he added.
