Laugh lines Dino wants to act in comedies

“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 said. 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, 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 Daphna 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 begins in May in Hyderabad and will move to 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. ” He is hoping for a perfect action comedy. He also continues to be involved with his brother’s restaurant in Mumbai, a break from acting and producing.
