No sandwich here but a heady cocktail, as actors Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and newbie Diana Penty along with co-producer Dinesh Vijan came to the bluO, Ambience Mall, Gurgaon on Wednesday to promote their latest outing Cocktail. <\/p>\n
\"We like all kinds of films. I like love <\/p>\n
Finalising a project solely depends upon the script. The banner's latest release is the Saif-Deepika Padukone-Diana Penty-starrer Cocktail. \"We look at the story and if we connect with it, we take it up no matter what genre it is. The idea is to connect with the story and to bag the director who can make it in the best possible manner,\" he said. <\/p>\n
According to Vijan, Illuminati Films is open to making animation films as well but have not found the right kind of script yet. <\/p>\n
Talking about the challenges of making an action thriller, Vijan said: \"A love story takes a lot of time on script, but the execution part in an action film is huge. It is all about blocking roads and other complicated stuff. In a love story, you have to focus a lot more on performance whereas in an action film, the logistics and numbers make it more challenging.\" <\/p>\n
Their first production Love Aaj Kal, about confused youngsters and their complicated relationship fundas, wooed the box office and turned into a hit. Spy thriller Agent Vinod, which didn't do well, followed. They have struck big again with Cocktail, a youth-centric urban drama. <\/p>\n
Cocktail has grossed Rs.36 crore in the opening weekend. <\/p>\n
Agent Vinod was not a box office success, but Vijan says he has no regrets. \"It is all part of the game. It (Agent Vinod) is a film that we stand by and it is a film that was really special for us.\" <\/p>\n
He holds Agent Vinod director Sriram Raghavan in high regard and calls him \"a talented director\". \"Obviously we learn from everything which we do. As a film we stand by it and love it very much. The idea is to make a film with complete conviction,\" he said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
