Ramgopal Varma likes to repeat his heroines to the point of obsession. Not all are talented. Now, take a look at this.
“The first five films she did with me flopped. Then ‘Rangeela’ worked. Does that mean she didn’t have the potential earlier?” asks Varma. Her last full-fledged role in his films was in ‘Ek Haseena Thi’. She re-appeared in the ‘Mehbooba’ song in ‘Aag’. The effect? Pfft.
“My belief in her won’t change. If anyone is to blame for promoting her, it should be me. I think she has suited the character wherever I have cast her,” says Varma. As we choke on that, chew on this. Seven films with Varma, without a hit, three for others since she came to Mumbai from Kolkata in 2003.

In her nine-film career, she has done only one that is not produced or directed by Varma. The actress even wrote, co-directed and acted in a film he produced, proving to be a nightmare for her co-workers with her diva demands. Now on the lookout for a publicist and work.
