Manish Paul, the very talked-about VJ and anchor who's currently anchoring 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja' and can be seen hosting India's Got Talent's next season, is prepared to make his big screen debut with a movie titled Oye Mickey written and directed by debutant Saurabh Varma.
Oye Mickey is a comic book thriller set in Delhi across the lifetime of a Punjabi computer geek Mickey (played by Manish) who plans a con of a life-time.
The other cast continues to be being decided and the film is slated to head on floor in September this year.
Saurabh Varma, the author director of the film says, "We were auditioning many guys for roughly 6 months but if someone suggested Manish, I NOTICED I'VE got my Mickey. He has perfect comic timing and an excessively innocent face required for the nature of an ordinary Delhi boy. I'M glad to have found Manish for this character; we couldn't have found anyone more appropriate than him."
Says Manish, "Every actor desires to gradually go directly to big screen. I had met many filmmakers before but if Saurabh narrated the script to me everything fell in place. The film has drama, action and comic element too."
"I would still not leave television completely and work things out between television and films", he was quick to add.
