"I am happy with the response to OMG. I am working ontwo-three ideas. One film is about scams like in share market,the recent scams that have come out, world banking andmanagement of money. It is about the economy of India. It isabout the involvement of influential people, government andothers," Shukla told PTI.
"Its about how people dream big...it is about spendingwithin your means and not spend more. It's not about anyparticular scam but in general," he said.
