Main Hoon Na is undoubtedly one of the big ‘uns of 2004. Farah Khan is already looking seriously at her next project. "I'm working on the script.

Again it'll be a full commercial movie, but with more stars than Main Hoon Na. It'll be a fast-moving entertainer.

If any actor pauses for more than five seconds over his dialogue I go to sleep behind the camera. It'll be an out-and-out comedy with no action."

She pauses and returns to her new film. "It's an ensemble film with a large number of guys and two girls. But where are the girls? I can't find any for my film! Anu Malik will do the music. He has to.

Otherwise he'll either kill me or himself. Anu should win all the popular awards for Main Hoon Na....Of course Shah Rukh Khan will be in it — how can I not cast him, specially since he's the producer, ha ha.

Seriously, having Shah Rukh in my film is like having Shirish Kunder in my life. Do you know Shah Rukh did the kanyaadan at our wedding?"

She lights up like a Christmas tree. "My wedding was a full Hum Aapke Hain Koun. It went on for six days. Imagine, after saying that I wanted a runaway private marriage! It was so sweet...It just shows that I've good friends...," she says.

Farah plans to shift to a new home with her husband in the next six months. "Can't leave my brother suddenly! Shirish comes back home like a good husband every evening."

Farah thought she would retire from choreography after marriage. "But that isn't going to happen. 2005 is jampacked with choreographic assignments.

Karan Johar's next will start by April. And Shirish is making a love story with Salman and Akshay in it for Sajid Nadiadwala. Of course I'll do the choreography. I've no choice and neither does he.

Then my brother Sajid is starting a three-hero film for Percept Films. For Karan Johar's production Kaal I'll choreograph the title song which Shah Rukh Khan is enacting. Then there's Shah Rukh's film directed by Amol Palekar, and of course my own film."

Another assignment for Farah Khan is as judge on Sony Entertainment's Indian Idol.

"Last year when I took this on I was doing no major work. I didn't know I was going to get married. But it's pretty easy. What better job than to sit there and pass comments on people?" she asks.

What about criticism that the judges are rude to the contestants? "See, I'm amusing and honest with them. If I try to be sweet the show will get extremely boring. All our reactions to the contestants are strictly spontaneous. I feel sorry for the rejected contestants.

Everyone thinks he or she sings too well. One contestant's mother got really violent. Anu was so scared he hid behind Sonu Nigam. All this makes Indian Idol very interesting."
