/> It's going to be a quiet but triumphant birthday for Dino Morea on December 9.

While on the personal front he remains "blissfully single" on the professonal front Dino couldn't have hoped for a better deal.

His ten-minute appearance in the story Sex On The Beach in Dus Kahaniyan has fetched him long stretches of hectic 'hits'.

And we aren't just talking about his website. Apparently the erotic content of the story has had its effect.

Dimples Dino. "You're right. Women have reacted enthusiastically to me. For those ten minutes of cinema I've received more calls sms and email than all my recent films. Some of it quite lurid...and nprintable."

Dino's next release Brahm too finds him in various compromising positions on screen. "I do have some love-making scenes in Brahm. I don't mind getting intimate on screen as long as it's done tastefully. I wouldn't jump into bed with my co-star as an item in the script."

Dino's production house Clockwork Productions is also going great guns. "We've shot a paint ad with Karan Johar and Kareena and we're shooting half dozen other ads with top makers. My feature films will start production shortly.

I'm in negotiation with top names. Though some of my productions will feature me, not all. I've a number of outside assignments on the floors or in late stages of negotiation. All in all, a great birthday!"

Except...... Dino is at the moment without companion. "I brought in my birthday with close friends. No one special in that sense. But I'm looking out for someone to share my life with. Yeah I'm ready to settle down."
