Noted Bollywood film-maker Ramgopal Verma was in Chennai on Monday to promote his to-be released 'Phoonk'. The movie stars popular Kannada actor Sudeep in the lead role.

Interestingly Gautham Menon had a visitor call on him in Chennai. It was none-other-than the acclaimed director Ram Gopal Varma. The two reportedly discussed the nuances of film-making. It is not clear yet if they discussed any future project.

Gautham is currently directing Suriya for 'Varanam Ayiram'.

According to RGV, ''Phoonk' will be hitting theatres on the 22nd of August, he said, It's a scary tale. The tagline of the film is already there— 'its superstition till its happens to you''.

It is the story of an atheist construction engineer Rajiv, his wife and two children. He ridicules both God and the dark forces. All of a sudden, one terrifying day, an evil force strikes his household and brings it on the verge of destruction. The very foundations of his atheism, convictions and beliefs are thoroughly shaken, thanks to black magic.'
