"It's a love story featuring me and a new girl. It tries to say the things that Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge said. But in a different way. Half the love story is set in England and the second-half half in India."
The other day the unit shot a love scene in the green splendour of Kent. Reveals Sammir, "They shot my introductory sequence on rollers skates in the local college campus, and we shot the love scene on a train."
For those who came in late, Sammir is a national-level roller-skates champ and extremely sporty. "I try to incorporate some sporting activity or the other in all my films. The guys here suggested a swimming scene. I told them roller skates sounded better."
Terribly homesick and missing his mom, ghar ka gujju khana and friends in Mumbai(in that order) Sammir is surprised by the number of Bollywood units in the UK.
"You can't step into the roads of London and its surrounding without bumping into someone from Mumbai. Abhishek is here shooting. I want to meet up with him one of these days as soon as we're both free."
