I'm fed up of TV!'

Popular TV actor Anuj 'Abhay' Saxena who plays the lead in Kkusum is now all set to bid adieu to television and move on to greener pastures (read Bollywood) . "It's been five long years that I have been associated with Kkusum, and I have possibly played all kinds of shades in my telly character including that of a mentally retarded person. It has reached a saturation point. Very soon the serial will complete 1000 episodes and then I will take a final call on how my character should fade-out. But no more TV roles for me, I'm fed-up," insists the pharma-tycoon-turned actor.

Anuj's foray into Bollywood is with the skin flick Lips (a 'remix' version of 'Jism') and is scheduled for release by the end of this year. Producer Saxena already has three film scripts ready. "There is a comedy, a two-hero subject and a thriller. We have already short-listed various actors who would form the cast."

All three movies are to be launched under his movie banner Maverick, which also makes ad-films. Anuj ironically has no intention of facing the camera. "Since I will be concentrating on the production quality, I do not wish to cast myself as the hero. But if there is something really substantial I am open to outside movie offers," he justifies.

Meanwhile he refutes rumours that he convened the 'India's Most Beautiful Lips' contest in association with lip-care product Blistex as a smart gimmick to promote his movie. "It's a sheer coincidence; there is no connection at all between the movie and my pharma product." Which is why he didn't invite any of the Lips cast or crew for the contest which had Katrina Kaif, Shahid Kapur ( he didn't turn up) and newcomer Rutika Tandon emerging as the winners.

Was it true that stunning Rutika Tandon was to play one of the leads in his forthcoming movies? "Actually we are considering making Rutika the brand ambassador of our lip-care product and if she fits one of the lead roles, why not?" signs off Saxena.

hmm its means guys...he also not interested to play role of abahy after 1000 epic....

seems one more person out of the show?????? i m surprise whoes gonna last to stay in the serial.....any guess??????
