Ruslaan Mumtaz, who in 2011, was embroiled in an MMS scandal with Salma Agha's daughter Sara, has now shot and completed a film entitled I Don't Luv Ubased on the infamous 2004 MMS scandal that involved two school-going children from New Delhi.
Says Ruslaan, "It's a college love story with an MMS as the conflict point. It is inspired by the 2004 MMS scandal, where a video of two school goers having sex was leaked on Internet." Model-turned-actress Chetna Pandey plays Ruslaan's co-star in film, and the movie, we hear, will leave little to imagination.
Says Ruslaan, "It isn't a scandalous film. We shot the MMS-clip sequence carefully. You see, the boy had shot the clip without showing his face. We shot it exactly the same way. My face won't be visible on screen. But we will be caught in the act."
The original was used by the director as reference-point for Ruslaan and Chetna's on-screen activity. "The original clip is easily available on the Internet. The story will be told from the point of view of the youngsters, who will be portrayed as victims. The boy's phone is shown to get misplaced, and the MMS is leaked all over the net. It's not about the scandal. It's about the trauma," reveals Ruslaan.
What about the trauma that Ruslaan went through when he was accused of leaking an MMS clip of Salma Agha's daughter? "That wasn't me in the clip. But yes, I am no stranger to MMS scandals," he replies.
Interestingly Ruslaan admits he lost control while shooting the MMS-sex sequence. "Basically in the heat of the moment I opened the zip on Chetna's dress and it almost fell off. It was a tough scene to shoot."
Apparently, Ruslaan was at one time dating the girl whom he seduces into an MMS compromise in the film. "Well, yes we were very close long before we shot together for the film. I don't know if that made the love-making sequence easier or more difficult. But it was a tough scene to do."

Following the same is Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar (MP3) fame actor Ruslaan Mumtaz, who has absolutely no qualms in admitting that he has indeed proved to be a flop actor. He says, “None of my films including MP3 - Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai etc have worked”.
Buzz states that he will soon be seen in Trilogy Krikos’ telefilm for Star Plus. Talking about that, he said, “This film, made under the series of Teri Meri Love Stories, has been tentatively scheduled for a September airing. It also supposedly stars Aditi Sharma”.
Adding more, Ruslaan said, “It is set in a banking housing colony that has a mix of Gujarati and Maharashtrian community members who live in constant competition and rivalry. My character and that of my co-star’s character fall in love. How we try to make our respective parents accept each other forms the crux of this light hearted love story.”
When quizzed if this will completely call for his shift to TV, Ruslaan asserted, “No this project is only a one-off. I had time to do it and so did it. Anyway, I prefer cinema because the entire process of going through your script and working on your character, to the final promotion is very enjoyable. You lose all of that in TV, which is more of daily routine.”
We respect your choice Ruslaan and wish you good luck with your Bollywood career!
