Actor-producer Dino Morea is ready to adapt a British play on screen and says he will team up with Kareena Kapoor in his first movie as a producer. You may recall that Dino and Kareena bonded beautifully when they shot the ICI Dulux Velvet Touch paint ad in Rajasthan with Karan Johar last year. Then, Karan played the lead with Kareena while Dino was just the silent producer. Dino says that he had then promised Kareena to be his co-star in his first production. Dino wonders how come his director also shares his view of signing Kareena opposite Dino. Since the hit play in Britain was directed by Pravesh Kumar, Dino has hired him to direct his first feature film based on his own play. The film will be based on one of Pravesh's two hit plays - "Deranged Marriage" or "Something About Simi". Why did Dino keep her old girl friend Lara Dutta away from his first production? Dino clarifies that only Kareena fits in the role. It's almost as if the role was conceived for her. She's meant to play the part. In fact, the play is named after her character, he adds.

To a query about his shift from acting to production Dino replies that he has done movies for years to earn money for buying car, house and a life in Mumbai. Now he needs to build a body of work, and just his body. He has kept himself away from outside assignments and has only one film on the floors. Dino is grateful to producer Sanjay Gupta, and director Suparn Varma for giving him a completely new look. In their 'Acid Factory, starring Aftab Shivdasani, Fardeen Khan, Manoj Bajpai and Danny Denzongpa. Dino says that he bonded very well with all the cast and remarks though in a light way that all of them were supposed to be locked up in this factory from which there was no escape route. In the same breath, the actor adds that he did have an escape from there to making of his own films.
