/> Anubhav Sinha's rise from a small-time director of Tum Bin and Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai to the big-scale visualizer of action flicks like Dus and now Cash, is phenomenal.

But Anubhav's biggest is yet to come. Next, he's producing and directing a film that will be shot in Rome in two months.

"My entire film will be situated in Rome. This film will be my last fun flick. My last action flick. It's a 5-million dollar film with huge action launching three new boys who will be signed on for my company. These three boys will have six films each from our production house in the next two years."

Anubhav's yet-untitled Roman holiday will also have a female star from Bollywood and a big female star from Italy. The entire technical crew will be from Italy, all top-of-the-line technicians.

Anubhav starts this film on 15 July 2007 and ends it ends on 15 September, releasing for Christmas.

Reveals the director, "Aditya Bhattacharya who's directing two films for my production house lives in Italy. He helped me put together this project. It will be my biggest. It cannot get any bigger. I've been traveling a lot and starting thinking global.

Why are there no Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and No Man's Land from India? That's because we aren't making them. I want to make films comparable with international films."

Anubhav seems surprised by his own success. "No one seems to notice that I made a big flop between Dus and Cash called Tathasthu...Lucky me! I worked hard on all my films. It's paying off now.

You reap the dividends of your current film in the next. I don't know whether I've a formula. But people liked the styling of Dus. After Dus they labelled me the designer -action maker...I wonder where that came from! I was born in Allahabad and brought up in Varanasi.

I came to Mumbai at the age of 26. So my formative years were spent in small towns. I don't know where all this slickness came from!"

He's honest enough to confess he hasn't made any film to be extremely proud of. "Dus was written off by my unit in Canada. I was shooting it in the format of a tv serial. And no actor in the team had any faith in what I was doing.

But after the first promo Abhishek Bachchan called up Sanjay Dutt to tell him how much he liked it. In twenty minutes it was the talk of the town."

Anubhav is scared about the expectations from Cash. "Everyone expects a track like Dus bahane. I think we've better music in Cash than Dus."

The special-effects in Cash are being compared with Krissh and Dhoom. "Please don't scare me. Those are very big films from brilliant production houses. If I've got in half as much of the visual effects I'd be happy. My F-X in Cash are done locally in Mumbai."
