/> Tv star Iqbal Khan's extended honeymoon is finally over. He has just inked a very pricey deal with Miditech Pvt Ltd who made that Star One soap Sara Akaash based on the hi-jinks in the airforce.

Interestingly Miditech have designed another air-force drama, a daily again for Star One with Iqbal playing an airforce officer.

Apparently the channel heads and the producers see tv's only Khan superstar as Indian television's answer to Tom Cruise.

"I don't know about that," laughs Iqbal when contacted. "But yes, I'm finally coming out of my four-month long honeymoon.

My wife Sneha was getting a little tired of having me around the house. But she did make sure that I didn't get lazy at home.She's as particular about my meals as she's about my work-outs."

Hence Iqbal is totally ready to get into the airforce officer's uniform. He's also all set to visit his ex-boss Ekta Kapoor very soon. "I want to seek her good wishes before starting out on my first non-Balajee serial. I'm sure she'll be happy to see me."

Apparently Iqbal has been paid a sizeable fortune to say yes to the Miditech serial.

"It's a very good pay packet. Though I was being offered a lot more money by others I chose to work with these people because I liked the concept. We've just shot a teaser trailer." The serial goes on air in July.
