Actress Ritu Shuvpuri is best remembered for the chart-buster song, 'O Lal Dupatte Wali' from the film, 'Aankhen' which was filmed on her co-starring Govinda. The film was a huge box office success earning the then 17 year old actress spotlight and recognition. However, she did not have any breakthrough in her future films except for a supporting role in the film, 'Hadh Kar Di Apne.'

After a sabbatical of almost ten years, Ritu is back to where she belongs with a film, 'He Man' and most importantly is set to make her debut on the small screen with a pivotal role in Anil Kapoor's second season of '24 tele-series'. According to a leading news entertainment daily, the actress will play a forensic officer, Dr Sunny at the Anti Terrorist Unit (ATU) who will work with the character of Anil Kapoor (Jai Singh Rathod) towards combating a national threat.

The actress, who is the daughter of veteran actors, Om Shivpuri and Sudha Shivpuri (Baa from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi) chose to step away from the limelight owing to her marriage and kids. However, she is now set for an acting comeback with two pound roles.

We tried contacting Ritu to confirm the news, however she remained unavailable for any comment.

We wish the actress All The Best for a successful second innings!

It was totally waste of time. Everyone acted well but story was not convincing at all and end was the worst part of movie. So many English movies are made on this topic. Nothing new. !!!!big disappointment from zoya and reema for writing an unconvincing story.

You are master of experimentation with you films and once again you are successful. Though the end was quiet disappointing I like Nawazwiddin Siddique at his last scene. It should be placed within top 10 thrilling scenes of Indian movies.

Aamir Khan can do such experiment with this role. He again debunked his own image of being realistic in his movies.

Talaash was good but it would have not worked well if not for Aamir!..his goodwill is what makes the film being accepted by audience..the story in itself is just average..have seen many english suspense thriller dramas' several episodes which have better suspense and better hold..also the end was a little disppointing!.. nevertheless Aamir makes it good one time watch for me!..(personal opinion)
