Mar 4, 2010 IANS

New Delhi, March 4 (IANS) Having already proven his acting mettle in movies like "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!" and "Dev D", Punjabi boy Abhay Deol will now show his driving skills in his latest outing "Road, Movie" - he drives a 1940s Chevy truck in the movie.

"I like driving. I am a very confident driver so I had no problems (driving the truck for the movie). I could do it straightaway on the first day. I didn't undergo any training. It's the same as any other car. It's just a truck and much bigger so you just have to be more careful," Abhay told IANS.

"Sometimes the DP (Director of Photography) would ask me to do the stunts. She would ask me to park it in position because I had such good control over it by the end of it all. I had fun driving the truck around," he added.

Directed by Dev Benegal, the film also stars Satish Kaushik, Tannishtha Chatterjee and debutant Mohammed Faizal Usmani.
