Q: Will the channel rope in stars through you?
A: Why just me? There are many credible people, Prannoy Roy and his team, and Samir Nair and his team. And then there’s me. We definitely make for a multi-star cast. I think everyone associated with the channel has enough clout to get the biggest names from showbiz.
Q: Did you miss making a movie in 2007?
A: Of course! But I’ve been so much part of brainstorming, structuring and planning that I had no time to miss my true vocation, filmmaking. My new banner, Dharma Productions, will start making movies in 2008.
Tarun Mansukhani, our new blue-eyed boy at Dharma with a strong sense of loyalty, is directing our next production from March, which will be completed in July. He offers rock-solid support to our production house.
But my biggest support is my chief executive officer, Apoorva Mehta, who is also my best friend. He handles the entire financial structuring of my company. I wouldn’t know what to do without him.
Q: Some more details about the movie, which Tarun is directing for your new banner?
A: This film will star Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham. Bobby Deol has a very special role in the film. This will be our only release in 2008. In 2009-2011, we hope to release at least three films every year.
