No truth in rumours that Abhay Deol moving to LA

ABHAY Deol denies rumours that he has moved to Los Angeles, and insists he will be back in a few months to announce his next production.

Rumour mills are abuzz that he has quit Bollywood and moved to the US for good.

When Mirror caught up with the actor, he laughed off the speculation, “No, I haven’t quit Bollywood. If you know me, you know that I don’t quit that easily. I’m reading scripts but have not signed any new film yet. But let me assure everyone that I’m in a happy state of mind and at my creative best. I have so much to give, so many ideas and characters to create,” he said.

Deol has been travelling and meeting artistes from around the world. Even though his debut production, One By Two, didn’t work commercially, he wants to continue making films. “I am planning to produce more films. At the moment there is one script we are working on, let’s hope all goes well, and I will be able to announce the project soon.”

What is happening with the first Indo-Chinese production which will costar Jackie Chan and Amitabh Bachchan? Deol says, “I am not at liberty to discuss anything yet.”

Abhay admits that people often ask him why he doesn’t try to make it abroad. “I would love to explore world cinema and I have friends in the industry. But I have put in so many years and so much energy into the Mumbai film industry that moving to another city is intimidating. I am not ruling out the possibility, nor am I giving up on Hindi cinema. Someone’s got to fight for moolah, right?” he quips.
