New Delhi: Actor Shabbir Ahluwalia, known as the small screen`s bad boy, is enjoying his new role as producer.

Shabbir`s first production venture was ‘Ganga Kii Dheej’ in 2010 and his recent project is ‘Savitri’, a fantasy drama that went on air on Life OK.

"Production is both fun as well as a complex job. When you are an actor, you have a role to play, but as a producer you are responsible for a lot of other things," Shabbir, 33, told reporters.

" `Savitri` is a fantasy show, a first of its kind. The visuals of the show will be an experience for the viewers. It is a very different show," he claimed.

Is direction on Shabbir`s wish list? "Direction is not happening in the near future. One should take up one thing at a time. Producing is exciting me right now and I haven`t thought about directing now. `Savitri` is keeping me more than busy right now," he said.

As an actor, Shabbir is best known for his negative roles as Rishi Garewal in ‘Kahiin to Hoga’ and Milind Mishra in ‘Kayamath’.

He has also worked in movies. His silver screen debut was with 2007 hit "Shootout at Lokhandwala". He later did ‘Mission Istaanbul’.

When asked about the transition from TV to films, he said: "For me, there has been no transition in terms of acting. The medium does not matter to me. TV and films, I believe, have equal amount of reach in term of viewership."

If the script is exciting, he says, the medium doesn`t matter.

Always wanted to play negative characters: Akash Bhathija

Join us on Facebook / Twitter 

Mumbai, Feb 28 (IANS) Actor Akash Bhathija, seen in the new show "Amita Ka Amit", says he enjoys playing negative characters as they stand out more.

"Since I have begun acting, I always wanted to play a negative character. The shade stands out more than any other character. It gives me joy and pleasure to act something which I am not," Akash told IANS.

Last seen on the big screen in "Ishaqzaade", the actor was also a part of the movie "Isi Life Mein". He said he likes to experiment with his roles.

"I want to experiment with whatever I get. In 'Isi Life Mein', I played a sweet and innocent character, and in 'Ishaqzaade' I played a north Indian goon," said the actor, who plays a positive role in "Amita Ka Amit", aired on Sony TV.

He is now working on the small screen, but films remain his first love.

"I definitely prefer films as (compared to) being in TV, as it takes up most of your time. But there is more fame and hard work in TV, and it gives better results," he said, adding that film actors have a more comfortable lifestyle.

He admits the competition in showbiz is tough, but is confident that his work will count.

"You should not take competition in a negative way. I take it as a challenge and face it. You need to be confident and have your work speak for yourself. If you get insecure, you will lose self confidence and you will not get noticed," he said.

The 20-year-old is pursuing law at the moment and is trying his best to balance his studies with work.
"I am doing law at the moment, so it is tough to manage acting and studies. I need to plan everything according to my exams. I lose out on a lot of work because of this," he said.
