Robert D'Costa's assistant? I hope her role is better than Sameera's in Race.

She looks pretty btw.

she looks good always .thing in her that i dislike is to be her sobbing . she sobs like she is taking last breath...

she looks like a grandma. and judging by the cast and the genre this movie will be a flop just like players, tezz etc.

Even though I never liked her... I have to admit she was good in Humraaz. This is going to be the second time she's working with abaas-mastan, they bring the best out of her

So the movie is basically about deepu-saif-jacki-john and to some extent anil! Bring it onnn!

It could be an interesting role, as her role will be meatier than Sameera's in the original. Also I don't think Abbas-Mustan would give her a raw deal since they worked with her before. She's trying to resurrect her career so I'm sure that she's picking her roles carefully, even if they're not main leads. Even Anil is playing third fiddle to Saif and John, that doesn't make his role any less interesting. He was the show stealer in the prequel.

Frankly speaking, even though Ameesha is nowhere in the top league, I feel that she has a chance of bagging more interesting roles than the regular A-listers. Since she is not the flavor of the season or charging crores for advertisements, I think that experimental filmmakers who are on a budget won't be afraid to approach her.

For all I know, she could well be the surprise package of Race 2. Even though she's not playing the main lead, Kareena or Priyanka won't ever agree to play a smaller role than their juniors and they're probably missing out on a very interesting role. Playing second or third fiddle is not an issue in Hollywood as much as it is in Bollywood. You see A-listers play second fiddle to lesser successful actors, yet they manage to grab attention for their roles.

I have been pinning hopes on Ameesha for years, hoping that she would come close to KNPH's and Gadar's success some day. Even though she has a lost a major chunk of her fans through the years (for whatever reason), I'm sure that her ex-fans will be happy to see her finally renew her success. I sincerely hope that she has made the right decisions, and that her roles in Race 2, Shortcut Romeo, Bhaiyyaji Superhit and Paradise Street will put her career back on track. It's about damn time!
