Ruslaan finds Indian system hypocritical
Ruslaan Mumtaz, best remembered as the schoolboy from MP3, is back this time playing a college boy caught in an MMS scandal in I Don’t Luv U.
The actor, whose name cropped up in an MMS scandal in the past admits the subject still makes him uncomfortable. “I had initially rejected the film when I got a call from the director Amit Kasaria. He insisted that I listen to the script and by the end of it I had made my decision of acting in the movie,” he smiles.
Bollywood saw a film on MMS scandals, Ragini MMS, last year but the actor insists that his film is different. “That one was a horror film while ours is a love story. It’s based on the true incident where an MMS of two college kids was leaked and we show the turmoil that they had to go through”
While the actor is all gung ho about the movie there is one issue that has troubled him. The lyrics of the song Ishq Ki Maa Ki was changed to Ishq Ki Na Ki due to the censor board’s intervention. An upset Ruslaan says, “The promo of Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani has Ranbir Kapoor mouthing similar lines but that was passed by the censor board. I’m sure if my movie was produced by Karan Johar, no one would have a problem with the lyrics. What upsets me is that India as a system is so hypocritical.”
Baby-faced Ruslaan is being offered roles where he plays a school or college student and he has no problems. “There are not many actors who can play younger roles. Its fun playing such characters and it helps me relive my past.”
As the actor gets ready for his next movie Romeo Idiot Jattni Juliet he reveals that he has found his Juliet in real life too. “I am dating someone but I don’t want to talk about it, as I feel speaking about it is like a jinx.”
