MUMBAI: Bollywood has a not-so-secret connection with Italy: the land of pizzas, pastas and fabulous wine. Before our readers start imagining, and hoping for a full-figured Italian actress in Bollywood films or something to that effect, here’s the scoop…

The Italian Tourism Board recently hosted in a dinner party in Mumbai, and among its esteemed guests, we spotted several of our very own B’town stars!

Among the dinner guests, our eyes were immediately drawn towards Bollywood hunk Dino Morea, who looked effortlessly chic in the staid colours of brown and black. Donning a chocolate brown shirt, black trousers and a black blazer, the man was all smiles for shutterbugs.

When quizzed about his upcoming films, Dino revealed that the third installment of the ‘Jism’ franchise is still in the discussion stages. The actor turned producer with ‘Jism 2’, and tasted the sweet nectar of success, for the film went on to become a hit. The film was directed by Pooja Bhatt and featured Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh.

Said the dishy star, “‘Jism 3’ is still being discussed. Nothing has been finalised yet. There is no idea yet. We are still in search of a good script,” the 36-year-old said here Monday at Italia Gala Dinner.

Dino, primarily being an actor, the questions inevitably turned to his craft. The actor said he is still reading scripts.”As soon as I will get hold of a good script, I will produce and act in it,” he said. Dino’s last release as an actor was the 2010 film ‘Pyaar Impossible’.

Also spotted at the Italia Gala Dinner were Ashmit Patel and veteran actor Dalip Tahil.
