*Rakeysh Mehra has moved on*

He has reason to be excited. Yet, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, director of *Rang
De Basanti*, isn't quite basking in the glow of the glory and adulation that
the smash hit has fetched him. That seems to be against his natural grain.

"I began working on my next idea even as RDB was in post-production," says
the director who currently has the entire nation eating off the palm of his
hand. "I could not have continued to live with the film forever. The only
way I could have kept my sanity was by moving on," he adds.

"*Rang De Basanti* took a lot out of all of us," says Mehra. "The high that
it gave us had to stop somewhere." It stopped when the idea of *Bhairavi,* a
musical film on which Mehra will collaborate with Chennai composer AR
Rahman, crystallised. He is currently working on the screenplay and hopes to
set the film rolling before the end of the year.
