Aftab not sure about turning full-time producer

Mumbai: Aftab Shivdasani may have dabbled into production with his fairytale story `Aao Wish Karen` but the star says he has no immediate plans to join the current league of actors-turned-producers in Bollywood. Aftab is also acting in the movie, which stars popular television actress Aamna Sharif.

"I haven`t formed a production banner after all. I am going step by step and right now I am just concentrating on `Aao Wish Karein` and not thinking about turning into a full-fledged producer," Aftab told reporters. Known for his `chocolate-boy` image, the 31-year-old actor has not only produced but has also written the script of the film, which releases next week. "I am not in the habit of writing. But liked the idea of this story and I decided to pen it down," he said. Aftab has also roped in the `Badshah` of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan to lend his voice for the film. "Shah Rukh is kind of a narrator in the film. It is his voice which everyone identifies with and everyone can relate to. So we decided to have his voice-over for the film," he said. When asked about the reason behind him producing the film, the actor said he wanted complete independence over the project. "I was toying with the idea for about four years. And when I decided to film it, I thought that I should make this film myself as I was very excited about the idea. "Producing the film meant I was in full control of everything and didn`t have to ask anything to anybody. There can not be anything more satisfying and more gratifying than that," said the actor, who was last seen in the multi-starrer Box-Office disaster `Acid Factory`. Aftab is not the only actor to dabble in production, Bollywood stars like Saif Ali Khan, Abhay Deol and Shah Rukh Khan have already produced hit movies under their banner. Best known for his comic timing in films like `Hungama`, `Masti` and `Awara Paagal Deewana`, Aftab said he prefers doing serious stuff and is even ready to play the `bad guy`. "I love doing serious and intense roles more than I like comedy. It gives me a bigger high as an actor. For some reasons, my comedy films have done well at the Box-Office. If the film works well, everyone talks about performance, but if the film fails, no one talks about it," he said. The actor was last seen playing a negative role in `Kasoor` in 2001, which remains one of his best films. Bureau Report
