Besides, my father has written a short story 20 years ago on which the film is based upon," added the actress whose last full-fledged role was in 'Mirch'. The 33-year-old, not willing to reveal much about her character in the film, said: "My relationship with Emraan is a very mysterious thing. Emraan has to deal with evils on many levels and that`s it. I am not allowed to talk about it." Directed by Kannan Iyer ‘Ek Thi Daayan’ also features Kalki Koechlin among others and it is slated for a April 18 release. IANS
