It's hard to forget the euphoria that followed Bigg Boss on Sony. Ravi Kissen and Rahul Roy had decided to collaborate on a movie called Cocaine which Ravi was to produce and Rahul was to direct. Now Rahul is no longer directing the film.
Says Ravi, "I discussed the idea with Rahul during Bigg Boss. When I came out of there my world had changed. I've lost touch with the Bigg Boss inmates. I keep in touch only with Rakhi Sawant. The rest I'd like to forget." He adds, "I've signed a new director called Shantanu to direct Cocaine. The inspiration for Cocaine came from a shooting stint in London when I realised how expensive it is to live there. My film is about a boy from Bandra who goes to London becomes a drug dealer and proceeds to Sicily, all because of his girlfriend. It's the story of his journey from India."
Ravi is also hoping to return to Hindi films with 1971. "To play a soldier, I grew a moustache and beard and got a crew cut, wore the same clothes for 20 days and shot in freezing temperature in Manali. I'll be cutting down my Bhojpuri assignments from 12 to just two per year. And I'll be doing a couple of Hindi films per year." Rumours has it that Ravi's new muse in Bhojpuri cinema is Rambha.
Ravi protests too hard. "No no that isn't true. If I've three films with Rambha I've also just had a big hit in Bhojpuri with Nagma. I've also signed two films with Abhay Sinha and GP Sippy with Nagma. But it's true Rambha and I get along very well. But we can't take away from Nagma's success in Bhojpuri cinema. She brought in an element of glamour." When you insist on comparing the two Ravi says, "After the Bigg Boss experience I've changed completely. I'm on a different high. These days I've totally cleaned up my act. There's no hanky-panky business with any of my heroines."
