RARING TO GO Dino Morea
“I am done with thrillers. I’m fed up.” He might have grabbed attention in racy movies like Rakht and Fight Club . But it’s clear that actor Dino Morea is now looking for a change. He now wants a “clean slate”. What would that be? “Action or romantic comedy,” he blurted out. At the Gitanjali store, Dino was unusually withdrawn. Having escorted his co-star from Bhram Sheetal Menon through the melee he stepped back. Feeling cheated that attention from Bhram was being diverted; he tried to merge with the pillar and sink under his cap!
While Bhram has already disappointed at the box-office, Dino had been hoping that the movie would be appreciated. The story he said is about a character, who falls in love “with a woman with issues”. Like what happens in reality? “No, No,” he clarified with a laugh. The woman is complicated because of her childhood. It further explores the relationship between two brothers, (played by Milind Soman and him) he explained.
His next film is Anamika. Directed by Anant Mahadevan , the film stars Minissha Lamba and Koena Mitra. To be released in a few months, Dino agreed that the movie is indeed based on Daphne Du Maurier’s iconic 1938 novel “Rebecca”. He plays a rich executive from a royal Rajasthani family. His other projects include Suparn Verma’s Acid Factory. With a star-studded cast of Danny Denzongpa, Irrfan Khan, Fardeen Khan and Manoj Bajpai, Dino was naturally excited about the project. The shooting is to begin in May in Hyderabad and will continue in Cape Town.
Dino’s now focussed on his production house Clockwork Films. While the company has produced ads like the paint one with Kareena Kapoor and Karan Johar they haven’t yet branched into films. “We are looking for that good script. We are yet to find it.” He is hoping to find that perfect action comedy. He also continues to be involved with his brother’s restaurant in Mumbai, Crepe Station, finding it a perfect break from acting and producing.
