I am busier than ever. Chargesheet is my next film. I was about to complete it when I got called by my publishers for the book tour. But I can make it any time. It will be shot completely in Mahabaleshwar, in one schedule.

Then there is When Heartbeats Are The Same, which is a film in English. It is a love story and also the story of a father-son relationship. I play the father.

I am going to Croatia soon to find the most beautiful girl in the country to play the heroine in my film. I am excited about being the first Indian filmmaker to be invited by another country to make a film.

I was working on Chargesheet when the Croatian ambassador in India called me and invited me to Croatia to make a film there. I flew down there and as overwhelmed: the welcome, the people, the country... So, it would be a love story between a young NRI and a Croatian girl.

Then there is also Hum Dono in colour...

Yes, but it is not being done by me. It is being done by Goldstone Media and they have already started the colourisation process. It is being done beautifully. When I saw samples, I thought the film had been shot in colour. It should be ready by January or February 2008.

Are you planning to re-release the English version of Guide?

English Guide? It depends on whether people want to see it. It was scripted by Pearl Buck, but it did not do well when it was released in the US. Also, the rights to the English Guide are only partly with us -- Navketan Films. Also read: Down memory lane with Dev Anand
