/> The Bheja Fry director Sagar Belary is ready with three films, to be released one after the other in the next one year.

Bheja Fry 2 is the one that is being most talked-about. Cutting down the controversy over the casting Belary, currently shooting with director Madhur Bhandarkar for Hum Tum Aur Shabana says Rajat Kapoor was never meant to star in the sequel to Bheja Fry.

"As in any ongoing series, only the character of the hero namely Bharat Bhushan played by Vinay Pathak would remain constant. All the rest of the characters, including Rajat Kapoor changes every time, " explains Sagar.

Sagar says the rumour about Rajat Kapoor opting out was spread by an actor who was sacked from Bheja Fry 2.

"That actor thought that by spreading rumous about Rajat she was covering her own tracks. I'm very happy to say Bheja Fry 2, as too my other two new films Nimbu Paani (for children) and Hum Tum Aur Shabana which I am shooting now are absolutely original.

As for Bheja Fry it was inspired by a French film (Francis Veber's Dinner Game), no doubt. I am happy to see a new Hollywood film Dinner For Schmuks based on the same matter. If I may say so myself my Bheja Fry was far less slapstick than the Hollywood film."

Sagar's new film Hum Tum Aur Shabana is partly set in the fashion world, and that's where Madhur Bhandarkar came in on Thursday.

"We shot him on the ramp. He plays one of the judges at a beauty pageant. At the end he walks the ramp with the models."
