The
squeals
and
screams
start
even
before
the
guest
of
honour
begins
to
descend
the
stairs
to
the
club
floor
where
the
party
goers
have
been
awaiting
his
arrival
for
over
an
hour.
By
the
time
he
reaches
the
last
step
the
crowd
has
swelled
to
a
heaving
mass
with
everyone
trying
to
get
near
him,
touch
him,
take
his
pictures
and
plead
for
autographs.
That's
Dino
Morea
for
you.
We
call
him
the
Indian
Film
Industry's
Italian
Stallion.
Women
want
to
go
on
their
knees
after
meeting
him;
men
want
to
imitate
every
bit
of
his
style.
A
true
impressionist!
We've
seen
him
attack
his
popcorn
roles
with
infectious
relish
and
yet
generate
manic
electricity
when
it
comes
to
wham-bams
too.
Demonstrating
his
famous
charm
while
sitting
in
his
ripped
jeans
and
a
printed
tee,
Dino
looked
every
bit
drop-dead
gorgeous.
We
met
Mr
Slick
at
the
'White
Feather
Films'
office
in
Andheri
for
a
quick
acid
test.
The
result
-
Dino
passed
with
a
distinction.
What's
the
Italian
Stallion
doing
these
days?
Italian
Stallion
is
being
an
Indian,
working
too
hard
and
hoping
that
Acid
Factory
does
well.
Then
I've
got
Pyaar
Impossible
where
I
do
a
special
appearance,
and
of
course,
talking
to
few
other
producers
regarding
some
interesting
cinema.
You
seem
to
be
on
the
edge?
The
character
that
I
play
allows
me
to
give
it
that
extra
edge.
I
wanted
to
do
something
new.
I've
grown
my
hair,
sported
a
French
beard,
styled
myself
really
well
and
wore
a
hat
in
the
film.
Now
how
do
you
make
yourself
look
different
as
well
as
make
your
character
stand
out?
Besides
acting,
you
also
need
to
be
stylised
and
on
the
edge,
right?
I'm
on
the
edge
because
I
am
a
cunning
guy,
a
schemer,
mad
who
wants
to
take
revenge.
How
diversely
difficult
was
Acid
Factory?
It
wasn't
difficult.
The
first
few
days
of
shooting,
we
were
trying
very
hard
not
to
remember
things.
But
there
were
certain
bodily
habits
which
came
naturally.
The
film
took
a
lot
of
my
concentration
and
focus
in
introducing
a
lot
of
madness
into
my
character.
I
play
a
quirky
role
in
Acid
Factory.
When
was
the
last
time
you
lost
your
memory?
Well,
lots
of
times.
I
have
missed
my
meetings
because
I
completely
forgot
about
them.
Hence
I
carry
my
file
now-a-days.
I
write
down
everything
including
my
plan
for
the
day.
So
after
what
Kaminey
did,
will
the
audiences
open
up
and
accept
such
cinema?
It's
time
they
did.
Overseas
audiences
are
still
caught
up
in
their
own
world,
their
own
era
where
they
are
living
in
weddings,
colourful
songs,
etc.
That's
passe.
But
they
like
such
films.
For
them
to
open
up
to
Acid
Factory
kind
of
films,
will
take
a
good
few
years.
Yet,
you
might
have
a
handful
who
would
appreciate
it,
but
the
bulk
of
the
audience
are
stuck
in
that
era
of
love,
romance
and
comedy.
Is
Dino
Morea
a
risk
taker?
I
am
a
risk
taker.
I've
always
pushed
the
envelope
a
bit.
People
ask
why
I
experiment.
The
answer
I
give
is
that
I
should
like
a
story
and
I'll
do
whichever
film
comes
my
way.
I
don't
care
whether
the
film
does
well
or
not.
Now,
I'm
being
a
bit
more
selective
and
want
to
work
with
banners
who'd
promote
my
movie.
Welcome
to
the
Production
brigade
Dino.
Thank
you!
Yes,
me
too.
My
production
house
has
a
good
script
written
by
a
good
director
from
the
UK.
He
is
actually
from
London.
It's
an
adaptation
of
his
play
which
he
showcased
in
London.
The
film
is
a
romantic
comedy
and
now
we
want
somebody
who
will
market
it
well.
I'm
currently
in
the
process
of
tying
up
with
the
distributors
and
marketing
giants.
Fifty
percent
of
the
ticket
sales
credit
should
go
to
the
marketing
and
distribution
guys,
don't
you
think
so?
Of
course
yes.
Louder
the
noise
you
make,
people
get
excited
and
want
to
know
more.
Just
out
of
necessity
you
need
to
shout.
If
you
don't
shout,
they
don't
hear.
And
who's
shouting
in
Acid
Factory?
Everybody
is
shouting
in
Acid
Factory
(laughs)
Dia
is
looking
hot,
isn't
she?
Yes
she
is.
She
is
a
stunner!
I
hope
things
change
for
her
big
time
because
she
has
made
an
effort,
a
big
effort.
She
is
an
interesting
actress
and
a
thorough
professional.
I'm
sure
Acid
Factory
will
do
wonders
for
Dia.
Don't
you
think
films
like
Acid
Factory
should
be
doing
the
rounds
of
the
festival
circuit?
Acid
Factory
has
got
a
lot
of
commercial
appeal
to
it.
It's
an
interesting
story.
On
the
festival
front,
I
don't
know
what
kind
of
films
are
short
listed
and
why.
At
the
moment,
producers
are
sending
all
their
films
to
festivals,
whether
it's
a
commercial
film
or
a
so
called
art
house
cinema.
I
think
Acid
Factory
should
travel
around
the
world
and
be
a
part
of
all
the
major
film
festivals.
I
also
think
that
festival
movies
are
deep
rooted
within
their
culture.
So
if
I
make
a
film
based
out
of
rural
India,
I'm
sure
the
festival
people
will
love
it.
Ok,
time
to
describe
all
the
people
in
Acid
Factory.
Make
it
short
please.
