With Lakshya dipping at the Box Office, Farhan Akhtar has decided to switch some gears. Very soon you'll be able to see him in totally different 'role' but in front of the camera.

"I knew it was coming. But I didn't know it'd be so soon. It was something that I can't say no to. It's my assistant Reema Kagti's debut film. When she wrote this film to direct she said I had to do a role. My first impulse was no. I'm petrified of facing the camera. But she insisted it was a character only I could do. Now I need to sit with Reema and work out details," says Akhtar.

With a hairband or ponytail, farhan has been able to set the fashion statement himself. Is it all due to his new film offer?

"Not at all. My look will be entirely up to my director. Blown up in 70 mm...I don't know how my hair and the rest of me would look."

"Reema is making an ensemble film. When I said no she texted again and said she can't think of anyone else for the role. I don't think I can pull it off. But I must say the script, tentatively titled Honeymoon, is close to my heart. It's a fun film," he says.
