The stars wore outfits designed by Archana Kocchar (seen here in the middle with Fardeen and Dia flanking her). The Mumbai-based couturiere is known for her elaborate yet understated collections and certainly did not disappoint on this occasion. (Photo: AFP)

Dia has shed her girl-next-door image for a sizzling new look in Acid Factory. Her's is the only female character in a film that has Fardeen Khan, Irrfan Khan, Aftab Shivdasani, Manoj Bajpayee, Danny Denzongpa and Dino Morea in leading roles. (Photo: AFP)

Dino Morea too will surprise fans with his role in 'Acid Factory'. While his dimpled smile and charming looks go well with his romantic hero image, model-turned-actor is in a mood for make-over with his kamina (wicked guy) role in the forthcoming thriller. "I am playing a kamina in the movie. As in the movie, we all have lost out memories. So it would be interesting for people to watch it. To know more about my character you will have to come and watch the movie," he has been quoted as saying. (Photo: IANS)

Acid Factory is the story of a group of characters whose sense of past has vanished in a haze of coma-like sleep they have woken up from only to discover that reality could be a figment of their imagination.

After Ghajini, Acid Factory becomes the latest film to deal with the effects of short-term memory loss. "The film revolves around six characters who have short-term memory loss ranging from 6 to 8 hours and are jostling with each other," director Suparn Verma was quoted as saying in an interview.

While Fardeen, Aftab and Dino wore mostly dark suits for the fashion show, Dia looked stunning in a red embellished gown. (Photo: AFP)

Aftab, seen here in the company of Dia, Dino and Fareen, said it was a challenge to portray his character in Acid Factory. ''My character in the film is that of a very aggressive, edgy and violent guy. It was a challenge to portray a character like this because personally I'm a calm person. But my character in the film has a very bad temper,'' he was quoted as saying in an interview recently. (Photo: AFP)

Deadly Max, Dia's character in Acid Factory, 'doesn't regret any of her wrongdoings and never wishes to explain them to anyone else,' the actress was quoted as saying in an interview. Dia has reportedly done all the stunts in the film herself. (Photo: AFP)

In Acid Factory Dino will be seen sporting long hair and a French-cut. "I have experimented a lot with my looks in this movie. That time I was growing my hair and Sanjay liked it. The movie is about being rough and tough and my look goes well with my character," Morea said in an interview. (Photo: AFP)
