What's

director
Aaditya
Datt
making
next?
"I
am
enjoying
a
break
in
Dubai.
I
am
chilling
out
with
my
friends
here,
recharging
my
batteries," he
says.
But
Aaditya's
mind
is
concurrently
working
on
a
series
of
projects,
even
while
vacationing.
"I
am
committed
to
Bala
Bhai
[producer
of
A.B.A.
and
D.D.H.].
Also,
Vashu
Bhagnani
has
signed
me
for
his
forthcoming
venture.
A
project
with
T-Series
is
also
on
the
anvil,"
he
divulges.
But what's really interesting is that Emraan Hashmi is standing by Aaditya, even though their last film, Dil Diya Hai, didn't work at the box-office. In an industry where equations change every Friday, it's heartening to note that Aaditya and Emraan have decided to work with each other again. "I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't disheartened with the failure of Dil Diya Hai. But friends like Emraan make life easier," he smiles.
On an analyzing mode, Aaditya feels that Dil Diya Hai didn't perform well for two reasons primarily. "One, the Indian audiences cannot accept the hero to behave in an off-putting manner. The whole idea of Emraan pushing his sweetheart into the flesh trade came as a rude shock to the traditional Indian audiences. Also -- I hate to say this -- Emraan and sex go together. He's an amazing actor, but it's difficult to break the shackles of your image," he states.
