After 'Mitra- My Friend', actress- turned - director Revathy is ready with a commercial Bollywood film- 'Phir Milenge'. The film stars Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Shilpa Shetty. The film launched its music in Mumbai recently, where the cast and crew were in full form. The stage was set and the host was asking everyone questions. When Salman Khan's turn came, he was extremely hilarious. The host asked him about action films and he started stretching on the stage and said, "I am aging, so you can see I can't stretch much and therefore I am doing more romantic films than action." Everyone was in a funny mood.


Abhishek Bachchan plays a lawyer in the film, who's going to fight a case for Shilpa Shetty. The story of casting Salman Khan was interesting. "I and Salman were shooting for 'Garv' when I was deciding to do Revathy's film. And I told Salman about the subject of the film and he said he really liked it. When Revathy called me next, I told her that Salman really likes your story," says Shilpa Shetty. And now completing the story Revathy says, "I couldn't believe when Shilpa said this and she handed the phone to Salman.

I spoke to him and he said that the subject is very exciting and that he would want to do it. I almost fainted. So I hung up and then called him again in a few minutes and asked whether he was serious. He said you can go and tell your producers that I am in the film." This is when Revathy found Salman for her film. Revathy and Salman have worked together in the film 'Love', more than a decade ago. But now in 'Phir Milenge' the equations have changed from being co-actors to director and actor.

"It was fun being directed by your co-star. Revathy didn't give me any grief," says Salman. Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy renders the music of the film. "The film is on a sensitive issue like AIDS, so we had to keep our music in synch with the situations. It's the first time we've worked with Revathy and it was truly a pleasure," says the music director trio. As for Abhishek, being directed by woman director was completely amazing, " I have seen Revathy's 'Mitra' and I thought it was a beautiful film.

So when she came to me for a film I happily agreed to it. Revathy being a woman has a different approach to subjects and treats her films differently. It was an experience par excellence to work with her." As for Revathy this will be her first proper commercial feature film. "I was nervous in the beginning about the film, but when my casting was done I felt a little confident. But I am happy with the way it has haped up now and even the music. Shakar-Ehsaan-Loy have done some brilliant work. I hope all of you like the music." This AIDS based film will be releasing next month.
