Nargis Fakhiri in 'Rockstar': Here's a look at some of the actors who despite getting a great platform, failed to take off
Nargis Fakhri (Rockstar): Debuting opposite heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor in an Intiaz Ali film earned her much hype as expected. Born of a Czech mother and Pakistani father, this model-turned-actress drew flak for her lack of acting skills and bad dialogue delivery coupled with poor diction.
Puja Gupta (F.A.L.T.U): This former Miss India was signed by Vashu Bhagnani to debut opposite his son Jackky. While the movie paid off for the producer who was re-launching his son after a dud debut, it didn't really get Puja much notice.
Sulagna Panigrahi (Murder 2): Starting her career on the small screen, she played a part-time commercial sex worker in Mukesh Bhatt's 'Murder 2'. However, there's no news of her second movie yet.
Sarah Jane Dias (Game): A discovery of ace lensman Suresh Natarajan, Sarah won a talent hunt contest by a music channel and went on to host two shows for them. She also featured in a video by an Australian group. She signed the Tamil rom-com 'Theeradha Vilaiyattu Pillai' opposite Vishal Krishna, and before its release, signed Abhinay Deo's 'Game' opposite Abhishek Bachchan. Her song Maiya maiya didn't send many pulses racing.
Zoa Morani (Always Kabhi Kabhi): With producer Karim Morani as her father and Shah Rukh Khan producing her debut film, she couldn't have asked for more. But 'Always Kabhi Kabhi' helmed by first time director Roshan Abbas didn't appeal to the youth, the target audience of this campus rom-com. Fortunately, Shyam Benegal is giving her another chance.
