Rohit ROy and Wild 10

After his Viraasat stint on STAR and an Extraaa Innings with MAX, Rohit Roy, one of the more popular stars on television, has signed up a show on Zee Muzic that finds him playing out his fantasies. "Fortunately, I am getting paid as well," Rohit laughs out loud over the phone from Mumbai.

What has him all keyed up is anchoring a one-hour theme-based musical show, Wild 10. Launched on November 4 at 7 pm, it plays 10 hottest tracks of the week and five choices from various segments such as DJ's pick, regional hits, viewer's choice, old is gold (retro and international).

"Wild 10 need not mean just naughty; it is about exploring anything that one loves to see and hear about. So, I could talk about wild actors, gizmos, sports, beaches, bars…," Rohit says.

But Viraasat is where his heart still lies. "That serial will remain a priority for me," he says. "Just 15 days a month are allotted to it while this weekly show will take up two. That leaves enough time for my film assignments as well."

Rohit has just completed Apoorva Lakhia's Shootout at Lokhandwala and is shooting for Delhi Heights with Jimmy Sheirgill and Neha Dhupia. "J.P. Duttasaab says I am film material. But TV has given me so much."

If it will be movies, it will be behind the camera. "I want to direct my first film next year," he states.

The Bengali actor who speaks the language in bits and pieces with mother and big brother (Ronit) at home is confident of working with star director Rituparno Ghosh soon. "We met a couple of times while he was in Mumbai. But the project has not been finalised."
