Is trouble brewing in item girl Rakhi Sawant's family? A few weeks back Rakhi had thrown her own brother - Rakesh Sawant and his wife out of the house (albeit to buy them a new one later). On
Big Boss, the reality show she is a part of, she expressed her desire to get married and settle down but blamed her "dominating" mother - who Rakhi accuses of using her as a money-making machine - for not letting her do so. Rakhi's mother vehemently denied the allegation and blamed it on her daughter's co-contestant, Kashmira Shah's, bad influence.
Meanwhile brother Rakesh's latest film starring Sony's first
Indian Idol, Abhijeet Sawant is complete. When we caught up with him at a party he spoke about his forthcoming film, sister Rakhi's chances of success in
Big Boss and other family matters.
What is your forthcoming film, April fool, about?It is a comedy about a young boy and five girls. We have shot the entire film in Bangkok in one single schedule.
Indian Idol winner Abhijeet Sawant is debuting in my film as a hero along with five new beautiful models.
What made you turn producer after having directed a single film?My directorial debut Hot Money was made with a modest budget of Rs. 8 million, yet it went on to make a cool profit which made everyone concerned happy. This gave me tremendous confidence in my abilities as a film maker and I decided to take the plunge into production.
But wasn't Hot Money just another cheaply made skin flick which ran more for its skin content than anything else?I delivered what the producers expected out of their film.
Hot Money made cool money and that's what finally matters (smiles).
Your sister Rakhi was a part of Hot Money, is she also starring in April Fool?Rakhi is doing an item number in
April Fool. Though we have completed shooting the entire film, only her item number remains to be shot.
Rakhi is on Sony's Big Boss on television. You might have to wait almost a month before getting her dates.The show's rule is that a participant cannot leave the show for at least 30 days or until he or she is voted out by the audience. I am not worried about waiting for 30 days more because I am pretty sure she is going to be voted out in two weeks and will be back to shoot for my film.
You sound sarcastic. Are you holding a grudge against her for evicting you out of her house?I am her brother and I know her better than anyone else. She had thrown me out of the house after my marriage. Maybe she wanted me to stand on my feet and make a career for myself. She did buy a new house for me though. That is how she is.
