If he had teenyboppers swearing with his Musu musu... crooning in Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, he had the older ones falling for his dimpled visage every time he walked the ramp. For the model turned actor, life after winning the Gladrags Supermodel Contest 1999 "propelled to a film star status," says Dino Morea.
From a psycho thriller in Sourabh Shukla's Chehra, Cinevista produced murder mystery Sshhh to Hriday Shetty's comedy Plan, he has had a gamut of plots to work on since then. On rave reviews for his Pyar Mein.., "it was a simple film. And it was me," he muses. More on him, the lad from Bangalore dotes on the delectable thali, is as enthused by biographies of Lee Iacoca and Dhirubhai Ambani as lines of Armani. And was last seen on the smashing campaign for Siyaram. "I wouldn't mind doing campaigns if I get good offers," he reflects. But at the moment it is the silver screen that Dino plans to scorch.
End of May is when his Gumnaam releases. "It's a love story," says Dino about the film that co-stars Mahima Choudhary. Touted as another pot boiler from the hunk after Raaz, the film is directed by Neeraj Pathak (he wrote the story for Subhash Ghai's Pardes). Another movie that he is enthused about is Fight Club, a film by Vicky Chopra where he plays a college student. "It is about a club started by students. It's a Diwali release," he says. One of the filmmakers he admires is Mani Ratnam.
"I have seen almost all his films. I wouldn't mind doing south Indian films if I get good offers," he says.
The industry could definitely do with some bonbon heroes.
