Suniel Shetty may have slowed down his production plans, but his acting career is definitely looking up. He has lately bagged many interesting films.

After being recently signed to do a brief role in Shah Rukh Khan's home production "Paheli", producer-director Deepak Shivdasani has again signed him on to star in a sequel to "Gopi Kishen", where he will be paired with Arshad Warsi.

Suniel has also been signed by Anil Sharma for his next film, though the subject of the movie isn't known yet. In addition there is Feroz Nadiadwalla's "Deewane Hue Pagal" and "Phir Hera Pheri" as well as Indra Kumar's next film and another project with his favourite director Priyadarshan to be produced by UTV.

"There was a time when I had a tough time balancing the demands on the production front and my acting career. Now I can be better focussed on my acting career. It is going to be a creatively satisfying year," enthuses Suniel.
