With both his films, "Heyy Babyy" and "Housefull", declared super hits, anchor-turned-director Sajid Khan feels he might have outgrown his image of the funny-guy-next-door and may not be able to fit the comic host role any more.

"Success is a very important thing. Till now people perceived me as a friendly anchor, a compere who used to crack jokes, a boy-next-door kind of a person. But after my directorial ventures, my image has changed. In fact, I feel I won't be able to fit in that comic, host image now, " Sajid told in an interview.

Known as the comic host of TV shows like "Ikke-Pe-Ikka" and "Sab Kuch Ho Sakta Hai" and various award ceremonies, Sajid received acclaim as a full-fledged director for his 2007 venture "Heyy Babyy". It featured Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan and Vidya Balan. Shah Rukh Khan was seen in a special appearance in the movie.

He followed the success of his debut film with the 2010 hit "Housefull", again a multi-starrer. He repeated Akshay and Riteish along with Arjun Rampal, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan.

"I am at the scripting stage of my third film, " said Sajid, brother of choreographer-director Farah Khan.

When asked whether his third film will also star Akshay, the 38-year-old said: "I would love to take Akshay in the film, but right now I can't confirm because this film is just at its scripting stage right now."

With two back-to-back hits, Sajid believes good film stars are as important as a good script.

"Script and star cast - both are important for a good film. Today is the age of packaging, if you package your product well and if you have star power in it, it gets more viewers, " he said.

After humorous films, can the audience expect a dark, action thriller from Sajid?

"I follow what is a hit at the box office. I want to provide full entertainment to my audiences because I know that's what is liked. So I really don't know whether I will be able to make a film like that or not.

"I believe that children are a very important part of film viewing. It is the children who take their parents or other family members to watch the film with them. So I make films that interests the whole family, " he told.

Along with his directorial work, Sajid has donned another hat too -- this time of a judge. He will be seen judging the second season of the reality show "India's Got Talent" along with Kirron Kher and Sonali Bendre on Colors.

"I was offered two-three reality shows while I was shooting for 'Housefull', but that time I was busy. But when Colors offered me this show, I got interested and took it up, " said Sajid.

"My focus in the show will be to bring out the most unique talent in the show and I will say whatever I feel. I won't manipulate my words, " he added.
