After making a successful directorial debut with ‘Ragini MMS’, Pavan Kripalani will be coming to scare everyone with his next film 'Darr @The Mall' and it seems that the cast of the film had to undergo a lot of hardships for the film.

It seems that Pavan actually made his actors sit in a dark room for around 10 hours without any cell-phones or books, just so that they could go through what their characters go through in the film.

Confirmed a source, "He actually cooped them up in a dark room for almost 10 hours, with no cell phone or books. All they were given was food and a performance coach would scare them with sudden noises or appearances. The purpose apparently was to get them to experience fear and claustrophobia, so that they would know the right expressions during the shooting of the film."

Produced by MSM Motion Picture and Contiloe Entertainment, 'Darr @The Mall’ stars Jimmy Shergill, Nushrat Bharucha, Arif Zakaria, Asif Basra, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Neeraj Sood and other actors.
