Dino turns villain for home production

Mumbai, Nov 22 (IANS) Dino Morea, who is all set to launch the Morea-Desai Company to produce films regularly, says he will play a villain in his home production.

The first movie made by Dino's company will cast five heroes, four of them in negative roles. "I'll play one of the bad boys in my own film. I've never played a baddie before," Dino told IANS.

But in real life Dino, who entered Bollywood with "Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi", isn't quite the bad guy. He has invited his US-based brother Santino to join his production company.

"Santino has been looking at film prospects in the US, but I wanted him back. Basically we Moreas are a very close-knit family. And if I had my way, all three of us brothers and our parents would live in my beautiful home, Sooraj Barjatya style."

Recently, he was seen in "Holiday", "Tom, Dick and Harry" and "Life Mein Kabhie Kabhiee", but so far success has been elusive in Dino's acting career.

For now the actor is just happy to have Santino back to join his new production company. Not only will Santino work hand in hand with big brother, he will also be launched as a hero.

"That's a strong likelihood," said Dino. "I plan to produce films regularly. And I'd like my family to benefit from my new vocation."

Hopefully, he may hit the bull's eye with his home production.
