Your big break: If you feel that you look like either of these men, see the box l Illustrations: Saeed Ansari and Kasbekar Pratimkumar

Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms has a complete script and a show ready to go on air from January 25 on Sony TV at 8 pm, but she hasn't got her male lead as yet.

Though she has found the female lead in newcomer Neha, she is still to find the male lead. "I have screen-tested 900 contestants and still haven't got what I want."

She wants someone who "will look like a cross between Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt... a young Sanju.

Angad is long-haired with a slight stubble, fair, vulnerable, yet macho. I want a certain softness in his eyes and yet he has to be arrogant. Angad will be someone who will be loved and hated at the same time," she adds.

The show called Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai is a passionate yet angry love story "something a bit more radical than what I have attempted before," says Kapoor. "It's the love story between Angad and Kripa, my main male and female leads. Kripa believes in love while Angad doesn't.

"Angad is a pop idol; a rock and roll rock star. He is from a wealthy, high-society family who on the surface has the image of a sweet, lover boy.

But actually he indulges in drugs, sex, booze and other pleasure-giving intoxicants. Kripa, comes to stay with his family and falls in love with his lover boy image. She realises that in spite of what he does he is not a bad guy.

They get attracted to each other, she falls in love with him but then they split. Through situations he falls in love with her but by then she doesn't believe in love."

One of the possibilities for the role of Kripa's friend who helps her to become famous is one of the contestants of Indian Idol (Sony), Amit Tandon.

Maya Alagh (after Kittie Party) comes again on TV to play Angad's mother. There will be a Sufi-rock song which will be sung by Angad in the serial and go as a title song.
