Film Avunu Is True Life Story Of Popular Heroine

While most of the horror stories are picked from the imagination, here’s an interesting story about an actress, who has inspired her director to make a film based on her real life horror experience. This is all about the South Indian actress Yami Gautam of Nuvvila and Vicky Donor fame.

It seems that when the actress was shooting for her debut Telugu film, ‘Nuvvila’, she happened to narrate her horror experience to director Ravi Babu on shifting to a new house on short notice. Apparently, she had skittish experience in the home feeling as though someone is watching her eat, sleep and live there. Soon after vacating the place, she heard that lot of tragic incidents happened in the home.

She did not realise then that her narrating the incident to Ravi Babu during a shooting break would later become a suspense filled, much awaited film. Ravi Babu who was staying at the Sitara Hotel in Ramoji Fim City during the filming of Nuvvila had no problems staying in the hotel by himself prior to Yami telling him of the incident. He had stayed in the same hotel room for about fifty days and nights and he was absolutely fine. But on the night when Yami narrated the incident, he could not stay there by himself. He could not sleep. He tried everything like leaving the lights on, leaving the tv on and keeping the bathroom door open. He could not sleep because for the first time in his life he experienced the fear of being alone. He was so scared that he immediately packed his bags and drove home in the middle of the night. It seems he has never slept alone since that day. Ravi Babu wanted to share the fear he  experienced after listening to Yami Gautam’s story with his fans, so he decided to make a film of Yami’s story entitled AVUNU
