Raj Santoshi is a very happy man. Belying all rumours of a fall-out
with Ajay Devgan, Raj Santoshi is all set to make another film with his
favourite actor. "We're just about to zero- in on the subject. It's a
contemporary film, not the two period films on Emperor Ashok and the
Ramayan that we were planning to do together. Those are on hold right
now. For now Ajay and I are getting ready for another film, though I'll
definitely make Ramayan and Ashok with him. But we haven't fallen out
just because a couple of our films together haven't clicked. That's not
how we work."
For now Raj is on another trip. "I'm finally starting Ajab Prem Ki
Ghazab Kahani with Ranbir and Katrina from tomorrow (Wednesday). It's
my first love story, though people seem to think it's an intense love
story, which it is not. It has lots of very light very humorous
moments. I haven't worked with Ranbir and Katrina before. So I'm really
looking forward to that."
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is to be shot in Mumbai (from tomorrow) then
Goa and finally Italy. "A lot of elements in Ranbir's character will
remind people of his grandfather Raj Kapoor. I've worked with Ranbir's
father in Damini. When I saw the boy in Saawariya I wanted to work with
him immediately. Katrina and I were supposed to do a film that had
Shahid in it. That didn't work out. This is a totally different
subject." Ask the director about Ranbir's reported remuneration of Rs 7
crores, and Raj shrugs. "That's between Ranbir and the producers Tips."
Oh one more thing. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani also stars Upen Patel.
"It's a pivotal role. Upen expressed a desire to work with me. We met
up. When I narrated the subject he fell in love with it. I'm working
with an entirely new team including music composer Pritam.
