/> Among the good things that Aftab Shivdasani has planned for himself this year, there're plans to produce films for himself.

"Yes I'm turning producer this year.I've started my company Rising Son Entertainment. And the first film goes on the floors in June-July."

Interestingly Aftab isn't only producing the film but also writing it. "I discovered I had it in me to write a script when I was waiting on the sets while shooting. Instead of wasting time I started writing. And the process resulted in a very interesting romantic story."

Aftab wants to cast a new girl opposite himself in his first production. The hunt for a fresh face is currently on. "I'm turning producer to create opportunities for myself.

To do roles and films that would otherwise not come to me. In fact the director has also been finalized.I can't announce his name because he hasn't been signed as yet."

Aftab admits he leads a boring life. "But I can't sleep around or do drugs just to be written about. Yes, I do a lead a colourful life. After all I'm just 29 and single. But what I do in my private moments aren't for public consumption."

Aftab is just getting over his breakup with Yana Gupta. "It was painful. Aren't all breakups difficult? But the wounds are healing on both sides now. When we broke up we both decided not to speak about it in public.

And we stuck to our guns. Even now there's tremendous respect and friendship between us. It isn't fun beyond a point to be single.

If I had my way I'd have gotten married at 23. But things haven't worked out. Maybe I'll get lucky in love the next time."

Last year Aftab had been lying low.

"I was shooting for two of my films Ganesh Acharya's Money Hai To Honey Hai and E Niwas' De Taali. I won't categorize them as comedies. They are romantic comedies in the way we have them in Hollywood. Very frankly I've had my fill of all-boys' comedies.

I'm hungering for better acting opportunities. By producing my own films I hope to renew my energies as an actor."
