Mumbai, July 17 - Director Ram Gopal Varma says his forthcoming film 'Agyaat' is based on real life eerie incidents that his unit members experienced while shooting his 2000 movie 'Jungle'.

'Agyaat', a spooky crime thriller about a film unit shooting in dense jungles, was conceived after certain unnatural things transpired on the sets of the Urmila Matondkar-Fardeen Khan starrer.

'It wasn't exactly supernatural experience, but some people including the lead actors kept telling me about this feeling that there is someone in the jungle watching and following them,' said Varma in a statement released here Friday.

'Jungle' was shot in the Bandipur forest reserve in Karnataka. While shooting the film, a few people in the unit had an eerie feeling of being watched by someone.
