I don’t try to look good: Aftab

Call him funny face, romantic hero ��� but Aftab Shivdasani seems on a roll.
After a dull stint, looks like the year 2008 promises loads of action for the good-looking actor who���s trying his best to shed his chocolate boy image on screen with a vengeance.
Probably that explains why he���s got as many as four films lined up to hit the screen this year ��� Ganesh Acharya���s Money Hai to Honey Hai, Aloo Chaat with Aamna Shariff, Indra Kumar���s Daddy Cool and Sanjay Gupta���s Acid Factory, and E Niwas��� De Taali has just hit the box-office.
For someone who has tasted success when he���s ticked our funnybones, Aftab firmly points out that he has no intentions of letting himself get ���typecast��� and is trying to do ���different kinds of roles. If I like the script, I definitely go ahead with any kind of character,��� he informs. But the one character that Aftab doesn���t ever want to play is that of a ���drag. These kind of characters don���t excite me at all and I don���t even want to play them.���
Unlike a lot of his contemporaries, Aftab doesn���t have this burning need to be seen in a multi-starrer. In fact, he says that doing a ���multi-starrer is much safer. You have to share a great screen rapport with your other co-actors, only then will the end product be good.���
If there have been professional letdowns because he did the wrong kind of films, Aftab is diplomatic enough not to want to ���talk about them anymore. I regret doing some films, I went wrong in selecting them. But I don���t want to discuss them anymore. I am only looking ahead.��� He���d like to work with the likes of Rakesh Roshan and Raj Kumar Hirani some day. And he also dreams of composing background music in future.
We���d heard that he was turning film producer as well and had launched a company too. Is that true? ���Yes. We���ve started work on a film and we will start shooting for it this year. I am also writing the script for this film with a Delhi-based writer, Ravindra Manga. I am finalising on a lot of small details. Once everything is done, we can talk about it in detail,��� informs Aftab.
The secret of his boyish good looks is, ���never trying to look good,��� laughs Aftab, adding, ���Seriously, I keep reinventing my looks, hit the gym, eat the right food and play cricket and badminton.��� Aftab also likes it when he���s given space. He claims he can���t stand ���fakes��� and opens up only with ���people I am comfortable with.��� The one touchy subject that he will not talk about is his recent break-up with Yana.
���I don���t want to talk about my love life at all. I am happy keeping it to myself,��� he shrugs.
