Ashiqui 2 director Mohit confirms Saif in next

You seem to be one of the busiest directors in town...

(Laughs) Yes, I read about all these films I'm supposed to be helming in the papers too.

There's one with Saif Ali Khan...

I had approached Saif a long time ago with a dark romantic role. He liked the script. It finally fell into place post Aashiqui 2.

Reports claim that Saif wants to make the film himself after a fallout with producer Ramesh Taurani over his pay cheque. But Taurani isn't letting go of the project?

(Laughs) It's great when people fight over your script. I think Saif and Rameshji are sorting things out. Money was never the issue. The film is in a new space, its edginess is what attracted Saif. But there's still a year to go before we flag it off. The heroine is yet to be finalised.
