After the musical hit "Aashiq Banaya Aapne", director Aditya Datt is ready with yet another romance "Dil Diya Hai" that he describes candidly as an entertainer with no message.

"The film is a complete drama. It is a love story with elements of action. It is a complete entertainer and unlike other movies we have no messages to give. It is a love story, which has a triangular feel to it at times."

"Dil Diya Hai" revolves around Neha Dhupia, Emraan Hashmi, Ashmit Patel and Mithun Chakraborty.

"All the three men unknowingly get connected to each other through Neha and are responsible in their own ways to bring about a change and turmoil in Neha's life," Datt told.

Neha was his first choice and the script was written with her in mind.

"While writing, I used to think about Neha. I thought she would fit the role. I knew I would be able to handle her. It is easier to mould someone new into your character.

"I saw her growing as an actor during the reading and rehearsals sessions and knew exactly how to extract emotions from her. The plus point about her is that she is always eager to learn new things."

Datt says Neha is an intelligent actress, who is "constantly thinking about the character". This helps her get under the skin of the character completely.

"And, of course, she has a really beautiful face."

Surprisingly, Mithun, who gave Kalpana Lajmi a tough time during the filming of "Chingaari", was "extremely cooperative" with Datt.

"I really respect Mithun da. He never took me as a young guy who is fooling around, but respected me as well. Mithun da never works past 12 in the night but he was extremely cooperative. Whenever I needed him, he was there. He worked till 3 a.m. in the morning and next day reported for a shift from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m."

Datt says that the senior actor is playing his age in the film.

"Mithun da is playing a key role. His character Rony is close to his age and maturity. We did not do any experiments with his role. He is playing a matured character, very much like his own self."

Datt is repeating Emraan in the film: "When I was writing the story I felt that Saahil is Emraan and only he can do justice to the role."

Emraan recently announced that he was not going to kiss on screen any more because it disturbed his girlfriend. To that, Datt only says: "You will have to wait and watch."

Datt's "Aashiq..." catapulted Himesh Reshammiya into dizzying heights and he repeats the composer in this film too. Reshammiya's two prodigies - Vinit Singh and Hemani Kapoor from Zee TV's talent hunt show "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" - have lent their voices to the title song.

"Well this time again the music is done by Himesh. The music really rocks. Every song is dear to me. All six of them are my favourites. But there are two fresh voices, Vinit and Hemani, who are singing the title track."

Datt says he never lacked confidence as a director.

"I have been always confident. Even at the time of 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' I was confident; it's just that the learning differs from film to film. One gets more and more mature with each film. And, of course, the learning process continues."
