My directorial debut will be explosive!

Says Arjun Kapoor, admitting that he is too extravagant to become a producer but wants to venture into a new 'direction'Arjun Kapoor is busy city-hop ping for his upcoming filmTevarin which he plays a boy from Agra. Set in the Northern hinterland, the film's milieu is similar to his debut film, Ishaqzaade. "I agree that the world I inhabited inIshaqzaadeis a lot like this film, but the characters are completely different. Unlike rebellious Parma, Pintoo is homely and self-righteous," reasons Arjun.

His involvement in the project is as driven by his fondness for the subject as by the fact that his father, Boney Kapoor, is producing it. "But that doesn't mean that I'm less involved in my other films," he explains. "Okay, maybe it's a bit more with this one than nor mal, but that's only to ensure that Dad doesn't get too stressed with mundane activities. That's something I can take care of, easily.

Having said that, Arjun reveals although he's a producer's son he has no ambition to become one. "I'm a spend thrift, I don't have a very good control over the monies," he laughs. "I'd like to be a director someday. My directorial debut will be explosive."

Speculations are rife that afterTevarhe's given a nod to Milan Luthria for a love story and to Rohit Shetty's next. Arjun insists that there is absolutely no truth in these rumours. "I've decided to do one film at a time. OnceTevaris out of the way, I will take a call on what to do next. I'm very fond of Rohit's films and would love to work with him, but so far I've signed nothing.

Now I'm clueless about the film. We've been going back and forth on the dates. I think you should take your question to Chetan. He's the best person to talk about it."

However, he insists that the year has been memorable because of Homi Adajania'sFinding Fanny. "I rediscovered myself with this film. Even for the audience, it was like having black tea instead of the usual cutting chai!" he chuckles.

He is teaming up with Ranveer Singh for a face off with the comedy troupe All India Bakchod. "Expect a combination of Charlie Sheen and James Franco from us," he promises."What's great is that we are making people laugh for a good cause."My directorial debut will be explosive!Expect a combination of Charlie Sheen and Jame
