'Phoonk2' Scare Challenge: ECG, Night Vision Camera…

It could scare the life force out of you! Canny viewers, though, who claim to be unfazed by horror fare, can gear up for a show of brave heart.

Ram Gopal Varma, the producer of 'Phoonk 2' has served up a 'Scare Contest' challenge: if a viewer can sit through the 'Phoonk' sequel and be declared as being unafraid, he can romp home with the prize money.

The moolah for 'Phoonk' was Rs five lakhs and the challenger ran out in the first 30 minutes itself! "Yet, there were many who insisted that the contest was rigged," groans Varma in a tabloid chat.

The challenging contestant will be fitted with an ECG machine, while he is viewing 'Phoonk 2', which will monitor his pulse rate and heartbeat and the same will be shown live on a screen outside the theatre to both the media and all concerned.

"The contestant cannot sit with his eyes closed," laughs Varma. "He will be monitored and shot through a night vision camera which will ensure that he does not bend the rules. His facial expressions and ECG graph will be on show for the media too. And if there are any unforeseen circumstances, an ambulance will be on standby."

If you're between 18 and 60 years of age, and have no history of cardiac disease, dare the scare challenge. The contest will be launched on the official website: www.phoonk2.in and is open to individuals across India.
