'I thought if my director believes in me and he feels that he can get Rhea's strong character from me, so it can't get any better,' said Esha, knonw for her glamorous roles in 'Jannat 2' and 'Raaz 3'. u00a0She also talked about a scary experience while shooting for 'Chakravyuh', which is about Maoists.


'We shot one sequence in a valley which was close to a Naxalite (Maoist) camp. Arjun (Rampal) and I were scared because Abhay (Deol) and Anjali (Patil) are playing Naxals and so their clothes are such that they (Naxals) will spare them but we feared that they will kidnap me and Arjun,' Esha said.

'That time I was scared. I told my parents where I am shooting and I also wanted to write a letter saying I love you, if something happened to me. But luckily nothing happened,' she added. Releasing Oct 24, 'Chakravyuh' also stars Manoj Bajpayee, Kabir Bedi and Om Puri.u00a0
