/> Rumours that he'd be producing his own film has Mohit Ahlawat incensed.

"Why would I do that? Am I that hard up? This is a rumour being spread by people who don't want me to make a success of my career beyond Ram Gopal Varma's Factory."

Mohit, lying somewhat low after his break away from the Factory, is all set to strike back.

"Yes, I'm doing a film with Ramesh Khatkar who also happened to be part of the Factory when. He was like my guru over there. Ramesh was supposed to direct my first film James. For reasons best known to Mr Varma, Rohit Jugraj was asked to step into direct my first film."

Now Mohit is in a position to let his guru have his say. "I'm doing three films with Ramesh Khatkar, one of them will go on the floors right away....in fact this month itself. The other two will feature Arshad Warsi along with me. They'll go on the floors depending on Arshad's dates. I'm happy to be back so quickly."

Mohit doesn't only have three films lined up with Khatkar, he also has a couple of other projects with other directors in the pipeline. "It's too early to talk about those projects. But I'm going to be busy until 2008."
