Couldn't sleep throughout shoot of web-series Live Telecast, says Kajal Aggarwal

Kajal Aggarwal, whose maiden digital web series Live Telecast is set to be released this week, has made an interesting revelation about why she couldn’t sleep throughout the shoot of the horror series which has been directed by Venkat Prabhu.

Live Telecast, which will be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar from 12 February, marks Kajal’s first foray into the horror genre.

Talking about the experience of shooting at an isolated location, Kajal said in a statement, "I think the venue where we were shooting was perfect for this series. We shot in an extremely isolated house — which is Venkat sir’s friend’s house and this was on the top of a hill and there was nothing around us.”

“For the series, it worked really well but I haven’t slept throughout the shoot. Because I was so scared after pack-up. I would wake up petrified. It was a very frightening experience for me otherwise but I was totally in the character. I felt it on the set, off the set, I was living it,” she added. 

The show also features an ensemble cast of popular actors such as Vaibhav Reddy, Kayal Anandhi, Priyanka, Selva, Daniel Annie Pope and Subbu Panchu Arunachalam.

Kajal is currently busy shooting for upcoming Telugu film Acharya, which stars Chiranjeevi.

Kajal replaced Trisha in Acharya a few months ago after the latter walked out of the project due to creative differences with the team.

Kajal is also looking forward to the release of long-delayed Tamil film Paris Paris, a remake of the Kangana Ranaut-starrer Queen (2014).
