'I never took my career seriously'

Zayed Khan has been a part of several big films like Main Hoon Na, Dus and Yuvraaj but success has always eluded him, as an actor.

He hopes that all that will change with Blue, this Diwali's big release. Starring Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta with cameos from Katrina Kaif and Kylie Minogue, the film is directed by first-timer Anthony D'Souza.

Zayed talks to Nithya Ramani about his experience of working with the cast and where he thinks his career is taking him.

What is Blue about?

It is an underwater adventure film. It is about a few people, who go in search of treasure. Since it is an adventure thriller, I can't say anything more about the film. You must go and watch it.

Shilpa Puts Career Ahead of Marriage

It's not that Shilpa Shetty's career is at a very happening phase. But she does have at least one film as a leading lady, a film which is yet to release. The film is 'The Man', which is being produced by Sunny Deol, also the film's leading man. For some reason or the other, the film has been getting delayed and is yet to be completed. According to sources, Shilpa seems to have lost out on a couple of assignments because of this movie and also had to postpone her wedding plans. Initially the actress was planning a grand wedding around Christmas in London. But if sources are to be believed, then she has canned all those plans and rescheduled her wedding for next year. It seems that Sunny and his movie were partly responsible for the shift in wedding plans after the film's release. And that is the big question. There is big question mark surrounding the film which has been in the making for a while now. In fact, one had even heard of reports about Sunny not being particularly happy with Shilpa doing an item number for Tarun Mansukhani's 'Dostana' as he had felt that it might affect his film which stars Shilpa as the leading lady. But a year has since passed and there seems to have been little progress on the film's front. In fact, if reports are to be believed, then a current schedule of the film to be held in London, was cancelled last week. One can quite understand Shilpa's concern about her movie. I means, she cannot keep Raj Kundra waiting forever, can she?
