Chunkey yet to surprise!

He was born on the same date as Dev Anand, so Chunky Panday hopes he too will remain as evergreen as the veteran actor.
���At least I hope I get to act with young heroines like him!��� he laughs. Well, we don���t know about that, but Chunky sure seems to be having a busy 2009, what with a string of movies lined up for release. ���It started with Paying Guests, Shortkut...The Con is On and Sankat City, then there is Daddy Cool, Khalballi, Priyadarshan���s De Dhana Dhan and after that, I start shooting for Sajid Khan���s Housefull,��� he says, adding gleefully, ���This looks like my year!���
The actor is quite excited at the prospect of playing a double role in Sankat City, as it���s the first time Chunky will be seen playing two characters in the same film.
���I play an actor called Sikandar Khan and a Hyderabadi character called Sheshaiyya. The interesting thing is, they never meet but their paths keep crossing,��� he says. But for now, Chunky thinks he���s had his fill of comedy. ���I enjoy doing comedy but I think as a person, you need to raise the bench for yourself,��� he says. So what is it he would like to do?
���I would love to do a romantic film because my wife feels I���m the most unromantic guy on earth!��� he laughs and adds, ���Another role I would want to do is a negative one as I feel I have a lot of dark energy. Now all I need is a director who would put his faith in me for such kind of roles.���
After spending two decades in the industry, Chunky feels his potential is yet to be realised. ���I���ve done Hindi films, I���ve done television and I���ve also done Bangla cinema, but I���ve just given ten percent of what my potential is. Ninety percent is yet to be utilised,��� he says.
So you have to give the devil his due? ���This devil is yet to be paid!��� he laughs and then on a philosophical note says, ���The woods are lovely dark and deep but I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep...���
