In Takut Ke Tak, Han Zalini plays film student Amir who speaks with a high-pitched voice.

Since his own voice is not high, Han had to misuse his vocal cords for almost 20 days of shooting to achieve Amir's tone. And it wasn't an easy task for the theatre and film actor.

At a press conference to promote the film, Han said: "The director had asked me to make my voice high-pitched for the character. I agreed but discovered that it was really difficult to maintain that voice.

"Almost everyday I would go in search of ice cream sundae... and my throat just became worse and more painful.

"After the shoot, I went to see a doctor and he told me I had tonsillitis.

"I had to rest my voice for a month and not talk to anyone. Alhamdullilah, I recovered. I am OK today."

However, Han does have good memories making the film as well. As shared in the behind the scene photos, the cast celebrated his birthday while shooting the movie.

Takut Ke Tak, showing now in cinemas, revolves around five film students who go to a haunted house to shoot a horror film only to encounter with the spirits haunting the place.

Besides Han, the film directed by Muzammer Rahman also stars Fabian Loo, Nabil Aqil, Ika Nabella and Arwind Kumar.
