The affable Riteish Deshmukh will no more do sex comedies. The guy whose name got willy-nilly linked with raunchy rom-coms like Masti and Kya Kool Hain Hum has sworn to steer clear of sex on screen.

Buzz up!
Declares Riteish, "I won't do any more sex comedies. It started with Masti. Now five years down the line, Masti writer Milap Zaveri, who's a dear friend, has turned director with Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai and there's absolutely no sex or double-meaning dialogues in it."


Riteish Deskhmukh and writer-director Milap Zaveri have both set a common date. April 9 has been underlined in the calendar. It's the day Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is being released. Five years ago on same date - April 9 - Masti had been released. Zaveri wanted his film as director to be released on that date.

Says Riteish, "Both Milap and I go back a long way. We've come a long way. We've left our raunchy days behind. Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is my first romantic film since my debut film Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003. Milap is the most romantic person I know. So it's only fair that he makes a romantic film with me."

6 years ago, on April 9, 2004, Riteish Deshmukh delivered the first hit of his career- Masti. While the film was directed by Indra Kumar, Milap Zaveri was the man behind the story, screenplay and funny dialogues of the film. Now exactly six years later, Milap Zaveri makes his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai starring Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles and as luck would have, it the film releases on the same date April 9.

Watch out for the promo of Koochie Koochie Hota Hai when you watch My Name Is Khan. The animation version of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai seems like one joy ride and promises to infuse life in the animation industry, if the first promo of the film is an indicator. Having the star voices of SRK, Kajol, Rani Mukherji, Ritesh Deshmukh, Sajid Khan, Simi Grewal, Anupam Kher and Sanjay Dutt, Koochie Koochie Hota Hai should be a fun watch when it hits screens later this year.

Koochie Koochie Hota Hai is directed by Tarun Mansukhani, who made his directorial debut with Dostana.

In the intervening time, his individual life has been spoken in relation to at span as well with his 'good acquaintance from beginning to end Genelia D'Souza continuing to be a matter of consideration. One wonders whether constant questions on the subject of this topic in fastidious irk him to any extent?

"I am second-hand to all of this at the present as well as moreover also broken in to what people determination asks", Riteish gives elsewhere that tender grin here, "I am very easy to talk to as well as as a journalist, and you are without charge to ask me several answer.

Riteish Deshmukh was last seen in ALADIN which turned out to be a colossal disappointment at the box office. Just when it had started seeming that Riteish Deshmukh had placed his feet firmly in the big league of Bollywood, the no-show of ALADIN made one wonder if the young man would be able to bounce back.
Well, he bounces back for sure and does a lot more with his RANN round the corner. In a serious avtar (years after NAACH which was incidentally directed by Ram Gopal Varma himself), Riteish is said to be one of the many surprises that are in store in this film which is spearheaded by Amitabh Bachchan. Also, his act is pretty much expected to dispel the myth that Riteish works only in comic outings.
