Om Puri is just back from a long shooting stint of Aziz Mirza's Luck Charm in Toronto.

"That's just the tentative title, " Om warns. "I took on the assignment without reading the script. I had never worked with Aziz, and I wanted to. That was enough incentive to take on the role. I don't have that much to do in Lucky Charm.

I play the man who helps Shahid realize his dream of building a shopping mall. Sometimes you do a film without asking questions, like I did Buddha Mar Gaya because I wanted to work with Rahul Rawail. "

Om's desire of doing a sequel to one of his most well-known films Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron is about to be realized.

Says Om, "Kundan Shah who directed Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron 24 years ago is going to do a sequel. We're all very excited about it. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron remains a cult comedy and recreating the film's ambience would be tough. "

Om who has just done a remake of the 1973 blockbuster Victoria 203 is all set to do another sequel. "We're all doing a sequel to Priyadarshan's Malaamal weekly from last year. But Rajeev Kumar and not Priyan is directing it. "
