In an industry filled with Kumars and Khannas and Khans, a name like Dino Morea is a regular aberration. But Dino Morea is also a regular nice guy. There is something about the guy that makes you take an immediate liking to him. Maybe because he is not overtly 'filmy' (maybe that will come with time). Or maybe because you can hold a genuinely intelligent conversation with him. Or then again, maybe because he is just what he appears to be - a regular nice guy.
He got this very earthy way of talking to you. No nakhras, no istyle. A guy who immediately puts you at ease. And a guy who relates to people. Those who have interviewed him before will vouch for his sharp memory. He not only remembers faces and names, but often also snatches of conversation you've had with him two years ago.
Dino Morea, the Bangalore lad, with an Italian dad and Indian mother, top model, turned actor will soon be seen in the murder thriller Sssshhh... The film will be released on October 24, 2003 and all eyes are on Dino.
You have been telling people that in Sssshhh... you are playing yourself.
(Laughs), You see, in Sssshhh... I play 'Rocky' who is a prankster, a fun person. Shooting for the film reminded me of my college days when we too indulged in loads of fun and games and pranks. For once, I was doing a role that was so close to me.
But we thought Sssshhh.. is a dark, haunting thriller.
Sssshhh... is a thriller, no doubt, a murder mystery. But it is not a mindless slasher flick. There are light moments, romance, a love triangle, beautiful songs. I won't compare it to Teesri Manzil, but it is like that. It's about seven friends and the film starts with the murder of Tanisha's elder sister. Each one of us is a suspect. I've seen the rushes and the film is looking stunning. It is beautifully shot and the story is superb.
How do you rate yourself in the film?
It is for others to rate me. I only know that I am improving with every movie. I am more confident now. Pavanji (Director Pavan Kaul) has been praising my work. That is a big boost for me. But I can say that I have a good role in the film and I have worked hard and gone through a lot for the movie.
