Aftab
has
said
yes
to
what
he
calls
a
very
interesting
funny
and
untried
film.
"It
goes
by
the
peculiar
name
of
Aloo
Chaat
and
I
hope
it
turns
out
to
be
just
as
appetizing
as
the
title
suggests",
laughs
Aftab
who
has
lately
been
lying
low.
"It's
being
produced
by
Maverick
Productions
who're
currently
into
Dulha
Mil
Gaya.
Robbie
Grewal
who
has
made
Samay
and
Mera
Pehla
Pehla
Pyar
is
directing
the
film.
His
two
films
so
far
haven't
done
well,
But
that's
okay.
Even
Rakeysh
Mehra
and
Ashutosh
Gowariker
started
with
Aks
and
Baazi
before
they
came
to
Rang
De
Basanti
and
Lagaan."
Aftab
was
kicked
by
the
subject.
"What
enticed
me
to
do
Aloo
Chaat,
besides
the
title,
was
the
script.
The
minute
I
heard
the
subject
I
was
hooked." Also,
the
temptation
of
pairing
up
with
a
top
TV
actress
who
makes
her
big-screen
debut.
"I
haven't
seen
much
of
Amna
Sharif's
work
on
television.
But
she
seems
very
talented
and
pretty.
Aloo
Chaat
is
her
film
launch.
So,
I
guess
I've
a
larger
responsibility
towards
the
project."
