The cinema halls showing Tashan may be packed because of the film’s stylistic flavour, but there is one cute little film called Sirf that deals with an important aspect of people’s life: relationships .

Directed by Rajeetesh Nair, once an assistant to Rajkumar Santoshi for films like Lajja, Pukar and China Gate, the film has four pairs played by Kay Kay Menon and Manisha Koirala, Ranvir Sheorey and Sonali Kulkarni, Parvin Dabas and Rituparna Sen-Gupta and Ankur Khanna and Nauheed Cyrusi.

Says Parvin, who plays a creative director in an ad agency, “The title Sirf is to convey that we should only (sirf) be concerned with our own lives.”

He adds, “I play Amit who comes from a small town but makes it big in Mumbai. He marries Suchita (Rituparna Sen-Gupta) who also comes from a small town, lives a lavish lifestyle with Amit but is not able to do away with that small town mentality.”

“Interestingly, our roles have been sketched with a lot of humour.”

Six films

Parvin, who has recently married Preeti Jhangiani, has been quite busy for the past few years. “I have been shooting for six films. Most of them are now complete. And I have some time to relax now.”

The films Parvin is talking about are Via Darjeeling by Arindam Nandi, a debutant director, Ye Mera India by N. Chandra, The World Unseen, Secrets of Seven Sounds, an animation film by Virgin Comics for which he has given his voiceover and Ali Baba by Sanjay Gupta.
