Fan accepts RGV's Phoonk challenge

A filmgoer rented out an entire cinema to disprove a director's claim that his latest horror movie is so scary no one can watch it alone, a newspaper said on Tuesday.

Pavin Ponanna, 30, booked all 227 seats at a Bangalore multiplex for an evening screening of Phoonk.

He asked cinema staff to have a doctor on call, but emerged declaring: "I never felt scared, not even for a moment. I took just 10 minutes to settle down."

Producer-director Ram Gopal Varma had challenged any fan to watch Phoonk - the story of a happy family suddenly beset by the evil forces of black magic - on their own.

Ponanna, an advertising professional, visited a temple to prepare for the experience, adding that the tickets had cost him Rs 47,000.
