That's a cool trick. I don't know if it will sound sitar-like but an acoustic resonating from the amp nearby at volume sounds like in interesting fun thing to try. Maybe even with non guitar signals reamped through the guitar amp. What about just a kick drum or maybe a background vocal bus?
Years ago I played with a guy that had one of those Jerry Jones suitars. Nice guitar and had a very cool sound. The paper weaved through the strings near the bridge works. Also try other materials such as mylar or tinfoil (through the strings not as a hat).
Another thing to try is single line (no chords) tracks put through a digital delay. Play with delay times under 50uSec, adjust the feedback into slight self oscillation and blend in to taste. Again not sitar specific but another ingredient in that direction.
Buzzy resonance is the name of the sitar game.
