| Aftab: Unplugged | ||
| Aftab looks immensely excited about the role. But it's another romantic film for him where he plays the lover boy. "I've got no qualms about playing the lover boy as far as the script is good and the character appeals to me. If the script is performance driven, then I see no problem in doing the romantic leads," Aftab told glamsham.com in an interview. But he quickly retorts, "But hey, I've done KASOOR and FOOTPATH which were a far cry from the lover boy characters you are talking about. So you can't really label me as such." Excerpts from the tete-a-tete: Tell us something about KOI AAP SA. Well, it's a romantic film which tells the story of three best friends myself, Natassha and Dippanita. The film actually tries to show whether there can be 'just friendhip' between a guy and a girl. Can there friendship be platonic. That's the crux of the film. I must say it's a brilliantly crafted story and I was fascinated when I read the script and the character I'm playing in the movie.

But the strength of this film lies in its simplicity. The plot is not at all complicated. It's a cool movie with a smooth sailing narrative. What's the USP of the film? Like I said, it's a simple story. The feel of the film is extremely fresh and no doubt, the movie while entertaining you is sure to touch your heart. Ya, that's the USP of the film, its simplicity!

She is a big name in television and will surely duplicate her success in films too. She is extremely dedicated. How would you rate the music of the film? Himesh Reshammiya is a very talented guy and I should say he has done a splendid job for the film. The music is very melodious and suits the film to the core. About the audiences' response. I don't know. All I can say is that I have done the hard work and given my 100% as I do always. Now it's upto the audiences to decide and if they appreciate my efforts then there's nothing like it!
