Remember Abhishek Kapoor's film Rock On!!? Well, this director is back behind the camera and this time he is taking Chetan Bhagat's book 3 Mistakes of My Life and creating the big screen adaptation Kai Po Che. With all the pieces of the film falling into place, Abhishek was adamant to only work with young, fresh talent and he had his reasons all lined up.

Television actors Sushant Singh Rajput, Amit Sadh and Rajkumar Yadav have all been cast alongside Amrita Puri as the female lead. Defending his choice, Abhishek says, "Big stars come with a lot of baggage. There are things they don't want to do. This (film) is a story about three young boys and big stars in this bracket are at a stage in their career where they are not sure. They are scared about who will be cast opposite them...they think about all these things. I don't want to do that, I don't want to change my script because I am casting a big star."

Abhishek carries on to say, "I think our industry can do with young people, we hardly have anyone. There are two or three people who are getting all the work. What would other people do? It is important that new people get a chance. The three actors in my film are fantastic. All the big stars were also newcomers at some time."

Back to the film at hand, Abhishek gives us insight into his career. "I took some time off after Rock On!!, then I chose the book," he says. "It took a while for me to draft it. It's not a race, I took my time and developed two new scripts. As a book it goes into different directions, so to make a movie out of it you have to draft it differently. A very serious process goes into adapting a book for a film. We have changed it around 50 percent."

We always notice that films don't match up to their books, but Abhishek is setting the precedence now which will hopefully help audiences walk in with an open mind. "This is a completely new film. I have no fear of expectations. I know when you will come and watch the film, you will forget Rock On!!. There is no similarity, it has a different style and I have also learned a lot while working on it," he adds.

We have no content from Kai Po Che just yet, but with the conversations Abhishek is having, it is only a matter of time before we get a dose of this film!
