Suneel Darshan Film producer on launching Manish Malhotra as filmmaker.
'Had I not signed Manish, Karan would have'
Are you planning to launch your son Shiv Darshan in movies?
I will introduce Shiv in Bollywood in 2007. He is presently studying.
Is fashion designer Manish Malhotra making his directorial debut with your production?
Had I not signed Manish, Karan Johar or Aditya Chopra would have, because Manish has worked with all the top stars of the film industry and understands them.

That's how he is able to design their costumes. I think the same holds true about directing these actors. Manish is writing the film's script. It will go on the floors next month.

Will Manish's film feature your favourite Kapoor sisters Karisma and Kareena?
We haven't decided the starcast. But I share a great rapport with the Kapoor family. Babita is a pillar of strength for Karisma and Kareena. I was the first to get Karisma and Abhishek Bachchan to act in my film Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya.
Unfortunately, they couldn't get together in real life.

What about the animosity between Karisma and Ameesha Patel, who star in your film Mere Jeevan Sathi that seems to be indefinitely delayed?
Karisma was the one to suggest Ameesha Patel to me for the film. But the rivalry between Ameesha and Kareena soured Ameesha's relations with Karisma.
However, my film got delayed only due to problem with the producers.
Akshay and Bobby share a great off-screen chemistry which comes across on the screen.
