ALE Ale Ale Ale Yo... Male Male Male Yo.
The song is still ruling the airwaves and that's what Savari huduga Raghu Mukherjee still has as his caller tune. And the actor is taking the success of his comeback film very seriously, and is being picky about the project that will follow Savari.
It seems the film will generate buzz even before it goes on the floors. Rumour has it that Raghu will be paired opposite 12 heroines in it. "As of now, I can only say it's a multi-heroine film — it may have one or even a hundred," says Raghu.
But what took him so long to sign this film? "I'm here to get an identity, which I can manage with just 2-3 films a year. Serving the same idli and sambar in different plates won't impress the audience," he explains, adding, "Saying no isn't that easy. I didn't want the success of Savari to go waste," he says.
He's had to say no a lot since he was being offered only love stories. "How long will people come to see films with a rose, a sunflower and an umbrella, when they can watch world cinema sitting at home?" he asks. So, will he take the kissing and love-making scenes route to pull in the crowds? "I'm not open to kissing. I can get people to watch my films without that. Even making love can be shown differently. Hugging, pinching and stripping off clothes are not the only ways to express love," he states.
Currently, Raghu is spending a lot of time on the untitled film, which will go on the floors in January. "I don't just want to come on the sets and do my job. It's nice to be involved in the whole process," he says.
