Manoje enters film
Wednesday, May 02, 2007
So,
what's
happening
on
the
professional
front?
Well
professionally
I
am
doing
my
first
Hindi
feature
film
called
Riwaaz.
It
is
an
issue
based
movie
and
a
very
interesting
story.
It
is
about
a
village
where
all
the
women
are
prostitutes
and
all
the
men
are
pimps.
I
am
playing
the
main
lead,
a
city
boy
who
goes
to
the
village
for
his
friend's
sister's
wedding.
Very
hard
hitting
and
volatile
subject.
Who
is
your
co-star
in
the
movie?
There
is
a
new
girl
Ritishaa.
There
are
three
girls
actually
including
her.
The
others
are
Meghna
Naidu&Saadhika
Randhawaa.
Also
there
is
my
real
father-in-law
Rajendra
Gupta
in
the
role
of
my
father
in
the
film.
Then
there
is
Deepti
Naval,
Yashpal
Sharma
and
Alok
Nathjee.
You
can
say
there
is
a
list
of
veterans
in
the
movie.
Have
you
been
keeping
a
distance
from
television
projects?
Not
really.
I
was
actually
been
busy
with
this
film
but
from
May
7
my
new
show
is
coming
up
on
Sahara
One.
It
is
called
'Babul
Ki
Bitiya
Chali
Doli
Saja
Ke'
produced
by
Aruna
Irani.
Here
Barkha
Bisht
is
paired
opposite
me.
We
have
been
shooting
for
this
show
for
very
long
but
due
to
World
Cup
it
was
postponed.
Finally
it's
coming
on
air
now.
What
about
the
actors
leaving
and
coming
in
the
show?
Well,
see
it's
a
TV
show
and
things
of
this
sort
happen
occasionally.
As
it
is
a
daily
soap
and
you
took
a
very
short
break
post
marriage,
how
will
you
manage
time
for
your
personal
life?
That's
the
reason
we
took
a
break
in
January.
We
travelled
across
Thailand.
We
went
to
Pataya,
Phuket
and
Bangkok.
We
had
a
blast
actually.
Then
don't
you
think
days
will
become
busier
and
hectic
for
you,
once
your
show
comes
on
air?
You
know
how
are
things
with
a
daily
soap?
See,
it
depends
from
person
to
person.
Everybody
has
his/her
own
capacity
to
deliver.
I
would
say
that
this
hoopla
of
hectic
schedules
in
television
is
created
by
media.
The
so
called
hectic
timings
were
there
in
television
before
too
and
I
have
very
well
gone
through
such
conditions.
However,
for
this
show
we
have
been
shooting
since
long,
hence
have
sufficient
episodes
in
bank.
I
have
also
heard
about
a
show
called
'Shaadi
Street',
are
you
doing
any
such
thing?
Yeh
it
is
a
show
produced
by
Deepti
Bhatnagar.
It
is
a
one
hour
weekly
show
made
for
Star
Plus.
As
I
have
heard,
it
is
definitely
going
on
air
in
June.
