Mani's favourite line was 'Keep it real,' even as we were getting into action with leeches crawling all over our bodies, and snakes swimming in the chilled water in which we were standing knee deep," she shudders at the memory.

"I was tied, blindfolded, pulled, pushed, dragged and even dunked in the ice cold water. So much so that I was even drowning and screaming for help." Recalling the experience with the blood-sucking leeches, the actress jokes, "Apart from sweat and tears, we even gave our blood to this film."
