Actor Abhay Deol to turn producer with 'Junction'
Panaji, Nov 27 (PTI) Bollywood Actor Abhay Deol has decided to turn producer and will launch his first home production 'Junction', to be directed by debutante Atul Sabrawal under the banner Forbidden films.
Abhay, who was in Goa for the premiere of his film 'Oye
Lucky Lucky Oye' releasing worldwide tomorrow, said 'Junction'
would go on floors next year.
"I have decided to branch out to other medium of film
making. I am not giving up acting. But, will not be facing
the camera for films which I produce," he said on Thursday.
Abhay, who has chosen unconventional scripts since his
debut as an actor in Imtiaz Ali's 'Socha Na Tha', said he is
getting emotional support from his extended family comprising
uncle Dharmendra and cousins Sunny and Bobby Deol.
"Earlier, they were apprehensive of the choices I was
making. But, uncle Dharmendra said I know what I am doing and
should not be given unsolicited advice," Abhay said.
The 32-year-old actor said his attempt has been to make
his characters on-screen look believable. "I look for
reliability in the scripts I chose. They should be relevant
with a touch of humour."
Asked why he was selective in his movies, Abhay said the
scripts he prefers are very few on offer.
Abhay was addressing the media along with director of
"Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye" Dibakar Banerjee and veteran actor
Paresh Rawal following the premiere Wednesday night. They were
supposed to leave for Mumbai on Thursday, but have been held
back as there are no incoming or outgoing flights from here to
the financial capital.
"I am very concerned over the developments in Mumbai
and finding it difficult to promote my upcoming film," Abhay
said.
Banerjee said, `Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye' was not just a
story about a thief in Delhi. "It is a relationship between
the society and a thief. I preferred the anonymity of my
characters and hence I did not repeat the actors of my first
film `Khosla Ka Ghosla'," he said.
Rawal said he is looking for good scripts and good
directors to work with. "I like to pick up nuances of my
characters from the real life and attempt to make my roles
believable." PTI MR
