Its not easy being Dino Morea. Especially when the only things the world (read bright television journalists on a single-minded pursuit of exclusive bytes) wants you to talk about are crepes and Lara Dutta. The film has a great star cast and it was wonderful working with all the actors, he rattles off for the hundredth time obliging the series of booms thrust under his nose. When you finally manage to take him aside,he tells you that Acid Factory initially did cause a little apprehension. You always have apprehensions about your role,your screen space and time when you act in a multi-starrer. But this film is an extremely well-written one. And making yourself visible in a clutch of bright actors is also a challenge. And I did take the challenge in the right spirit, says Morea. Suparn Vermas film also stars Irrfan Khan,Manoj Vajpayee,Danny Dengzongpa,Fardeen Khan and Dia Mirza.

At this stage of my life,I am trying to make extremely conscious,you can say cautious decisions too. I wont do films for the sake of doing films anymore. So despite being crowded by many actors,I chose to do Acid Factory because it is a good film. Its a film that made me push my limits as an actor, he adds. Moreas character in Acid Factory is one that is bent on taking revenge people who have hurt him. But he bungles in the process and gets caught up in a dangerous plot. The premise of my character is very dark. But I tried giving it my own touch,by making the guy goofy,clownish, says Morea.
