Farhan Akhtar Kartik Versus Kartik Character makes him to be a lonely brooder

Known To be utterly gregarious and accessible Farhan has suddenly withdrawn into  a shell.

Before well-wishers  could presume the worst, the truth has come out in the open.

His current acting assignment Kartik Versus Kartik with Deepika Padukone which is almost done provoked  these withdrawal symptoms.

Since the part  requires him to be a lonely brooder Farhan has lately switched off  his phone and become almost  inaccessible to the world outside.

"It was  the nature of  the character I was playing. He's a guy lost in his world. So I was making an  effort to isolate myself."

Friends found Farhan's behaviour strange since usually he is so reachable and gregarious.

"Lately I've just been switching off  from  the world for the sake of my character.If you want to call it method acting, so be it,"says Farhan.

Farhan won't be cast  in Abhishek Rock On Kapoor's  second film, though it's being  produced  by Farhan's company. "Gattu has very specific ideas on whom he  wants to cast.If he thinks I don't fit any part that's fine.I'm just happy  producing  his film."

Now  Farhan  prepares to shoot for Don 2. His  father Javed Akhtar will  be no part  of  the sequel to Don. The  first part of the fim had been written by  Javed Saab.

Don 2 has a different team of  writers which includes Farhan.

"The first film  was my father's vision. He had written  the original Don featuring Mr Bachchan. But Don 2  is being written by fans only. These are yours truly and  two  new enthusiastic boys Ameet and Amreesh who came to me  with  their ideas  on how the story can be carried forward. I've thrown my ideas  at them.  Don 2  is basically  being written by  three Don  fans who  are  having  a  ball  carrying the story  forward.

About the exclusion of  his father Farhan explains, "He cannot be a fan of  Don because he conceived  it."

 Farhan's heart  is set on  his pet project Voice From The Sky which got stalled  by casting setbacks.

"It's strange. No matter who  it is, and no matter how big or small the  director,  everyone of us is  facing  casting problems.  Finding the  right actors has become a major problem. Voice From  The Sky did get delayed because I couldn't find the right actor. But I  know  I'll come back to  it. And one day when  you see  it you'll realize  why I  had to  make  this film." -
