Agyaat
2009 film by Ram Gopal Varma
Agyaat (transl. Anonymous) is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language horror film directed by Ram Gopal Varma, starring Nithiin, Gautam Rode, Rasika Dugal, and Priyanka Kothari in the leading roles. It follows a filmmaking crew stuck in a forest and struggling to survive after becoming the target of an unknown invisible entity/creature.
The film was released on 7 August 2009. It was dubbed and released simultaneously in Telugu as Adavi. The film was shot mainly at Sigiriya jungle in Sri Lanka, with some scenes in the Athirappilly forests in Cochin, Kerala, India. In order to combat piracy, the film's DVD was simultaneously and exclusively released internationally. It was a commercial disappointment, and the sequel Agyaat 2 teased in the end credits never materialized.
Synopsis
A film unit goes for a shoot in a forest but get stuck deep in the jungle. Resulting in a four-day delay, the 9-member cast and crew of a Bollywood movie, including leading lady Aasha, and her egotistical co-star, Sharman Kapoor, decide to relax and take an outing with their guide, Setu.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Agyaat” as 2009 film by Ram Gopal Varma. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2009 film by Ram Gopal Varma. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4694725. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2009.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
