Bally Chohan feels that there is a special call of audience who always looks forward to watch horror films. Bally Chohan is also a big fan of Ram Gopal Verma and believes that Bhoot was one of the best horror films made in India.

Phook 2 released this week all over. Phoonk 2 is produced by RGV films of Ram Gopal Verma and directed by Milind Gadagkar. Phoonk 2 is a sequel to earlier released film by Ram Gopal Verma PHOONK. Phoonk was released in the year 2008 and now after two years comes Phoonk 2. Ram Gopal Verma has earlier made sequel of horror fil Darna Mana Hai.

Bally Chohan didn’t like the original Phoonks released in 2008 but believes that Phoonk 2 will be a highly terrifying movie. Ram Gopal Verma has already announced a reward of INR 500,000 for watching Phoonk 2 alone in cinema hall.

The story of Phoonk 2 starts from where Phoonk ends. In the first edition movie ended with the death of Madhu. Madhu in Phoonks had cast black magic on Raksha. In the Phoonk 2 Madhu’s ghost returns back to seek revenge on Rajiv’s family.
