/> Lying low for some time model-turned-actor Bikram Saluja, currently being seen in theatres as the happy-go-horny honeymooner in Meghna Gulzar's Just Married, has taken time off to write a startling book on cinema.

"It's a book called An Actor's Inspiration, a photographic interpretation of two of my favourite films Raging Bull and The Godfather with a photographer-friend Ronnie Sequira."

The book is being readied for publication. Why such an unusual vocation for the shy actor? "Maybe because I'm shy I needed to express myself through the print medium.

As a movie actor I'm able to overcome my shyness quite easily. In Just Married I played this exuberant demonstrative guys who can't take his eyes and hands off his wife. I had no problems playing this character."

Bikram who has been married for two years is soon planning to move into a bigger house.

About his minuscule role in J.P. Dutta's Umrao Jaan as Abhishek Bachchan's friend, Bikram says, "I'd do anything for JP Saab blindly.

I haven't forgotten when I was workless I walked up to his office to ask for a role in LOC and he gave it to me. So when he asked me to put in a guest appearance for Umrao Jaan I did it without a second thought."
