Sohail Khan debuts as director -- producer

Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, the debut film of Salman Khan's younger brother, Sohail Khan, and Sameera Reddy will be a love story.

So it will - quite appropriately - go before the cameras on Valentine's Day, February 14, next year.

Sohail is also directing the film, and producing it jointly with partner Bunty Walia. Kabir Lal, who shot newcomers Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel in 2000's biggest blockbuster, Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai, will be the cinematographer for this romantic story.

On being asked if the choice of Valentine's Day to start shooting was a conscious decision or a coincidence, Bunty Walia said, "It is deliberate. The film is a love story and Valentine's Day epitomizes love. In fact, the film will also be released on Valentine's Day 2002!"

Meanwhile, songs of Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, are being recorded by Anu Malik's younger brother, Daboo Malik.
