/> There's much jubilation in the Khan family. While sister Farah is going to be a mother, brother Sajid's film has turned into a massive success.

Sajid gets emotional. "If Farah is glowing these days it's with reason. She's pregnant and her brother has delivered his 'baby'. So she's happy. I've seen portions of her forthcoming film.

She's got a huge blockbuster on her hands. If we've to compete for the awards this year, I'd want her to get them. I always want Farah to be happier than I am."

More emotional confession from the film industry's incorrigible wag. "The three heroes played by Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan are an amalgamation of me. I treat women as callously as Akshay does in my film.

Now I'm 36 and I'm tired of playing the field. But I won't get married. I can't force myself to settle down. I don't think any one woman can accept my lifestyle and my passion for movies."

The critical response has been surprising. "Yes, I'm surprised by the good reviews considering I've made a profession of talking about films on television.

But one thing to be noted is I never talked about the personal lives, only films. Today all they talk about is who's sleeping with whom.I wouldn't spare my own or Farah's films if I don't like them."

Expectations were riding high, considering Sajid posed as a know-all about cinema for years. "But my producer Sajid Nadiadwala marketed my film so well. He handled it like any A-grade films. All my actors agreed to do the film because of my producer's goodwill and also because they knew me for years.

Akshay Kumar, I know from 1996. We used to do stage shows together. I had promised Akshay, Riteish, Fardeen and my producer Nadiadwala that whenever I direct a film they'd be part of it and I'd give them the biggest hit of their career.

And that's what I feel triumphant about...guys, you did me a huge favour by doing this film. But I don't owe you anything anymore. I'm very happy that I've given Sajid Nadiadwala who's like family to me and my sister, the biggest hit of his banner. Heyy Babyy should gross around 150 crore rupees worldwide."

In the same breath Sajid says, "But it isn't about money. You think Yashraj Films makes movies for money? They make films to please audiences and critics? Luckily my film has done that. I got 85 percent A-grade reviews."

Sajid confesses he attempted to do a Munnabhai in Heyy Babyy. "If you remember all the trailers of Munnabhai were comic. I knew I'd surprise them with my emotional content..

If you go for a pao-bhaji and get served a juice and a paan, you felt good. The minute the audiences, male or female, saw the baby they wanted to hug her,yaar! The star of the film was the baby."
