A Bollywood filmmaker who has made commercial entertainers with good doses of skin-show is now dabbling in a different genre of filmmaking.
Govind Menon, the director who launched hot Mallika Sherawat with as many as seventeen kisses in Khwahish, is out to delve into different kind of cinema now.
Having been bitten twice with the debacle of his two previous films – Kis Kis Ki Kismat and Bachke Rehna Re Baba – both of which starred Mallika, Menon is now making a “realistic film.”
What inspired Menon to change tracks from his customary style of filmmaking?
Menon says the success of Madhur Bhandarkar’s Page 3 has blazed a new trail for many filmmakers like him who want to try some sensible stuff on celluloid.
So will Menon’s next movie have Mallika in the leading role?
“No,” says, Menon. He says having worked with the hot babe in three films, he is done with her and now wants to move on.
Menon is presently writing his new movie’s script. He says the cast of the film will be finalized after the script is completed.
