The actors of 35mm for ages have always wished to make it big on 70mm. Reportedly, TV actress Prachi aka Bani of Kasamh Se fame is expecting to do well in Bollywood with her upcoming movie Rock On. In an interview to a news agency recently, she said, "My debut in films has not been tough mainly because I have a simple role as Farhan's wife, who is instrumental in bringing the rock band back to the centrestage."

Prachi herself accepts that her debut is not very strong, but every actor is not so honest. TV stars jump on the Bollywood bandwagon with a lot of hype, but they end up with little or no success. Ronit Roy, Mandira Bedi, Niki Aneja all tried their luck in tinsel town, but after failure, they came back to TV. Moreover, there are actors from TV who are critically acclaimed for their skills in movies too, but are not able to get that superstar tag they aspire for. Actor Sandhya Mridul has been appreciated for almost all her roles, but still hasn't managed to get mass appeal because of her offbeat selection of movies.

Television actors have always tried to be successful in Bollywood, but rarely do they get acclaim for their hard work. According to Rajeev, he was successful in Bollywood because he got a good break. "I think success and failure of an actor depends on the choices he makes. Moreover, there's a perception that TV actors can't make it big in Bollywood, so many producers do not offer them meaty roles. My film was much appreciated as it was different and had a unique storyline," he says.

Director Atul Agnihotri says that Bollywood is a tough place to survive in. "Out of hundred only three or four are commercially successful. One probably has an advantage being from the TV industry, but unless you bag good projects and work with the best people, you are bound to be feel disheartened and disillusioned as the competition is tough. A good choice of script and acting skills are the most important factors," he adds.

Prachis a good actor but think romantic film would have been better choice even if its a small role still a chance to make a impact...
I agree with rajeev its down to type of films they do whether they do well or now...i do think tv stars get associated with their characters if they do one serial probably makes it harder for them to get films.

in my opinion, some of the TV stars are better actors than some of the famous bollywood stars but the reason TV stars fail to succeed in films is because they lack glamor and a godfather to promote them in the film industry...also just because we see the TV star 5 days in a week on TV in our daily soap, they are already too much exposed to the public...

i can mention one TV star who made it big in film industry even though he didn't have a godfather in the industry.............................yupppp....its Shahrukh Khan (from Fauji)

I agree with the article. Shahrukh Khan is an exception.Most of TV stars don't make it in movies.Its not because of lack of talent, look at Ram. No one will doubt about that. But I think movie is different ball game.

Rajeev khandewl may be right to some extent but see Gracy Singh. Her debut film was main role opposite Aamir in a commercially sucessful, critically aclaimed ilm Lagaan. She had prominent role & was noticed for it too. Then she got good movies like Munnabhai MBBS & Armaan in which again she played main female lead. Still she is now no where.There are many such examples.

I don't think Prachi's role is Rockon is that prominenet, in abbas Muskan film I doubt female leads are noticed for their talent & won't like to seen Prachi used for anything else. Especially apprehensive after watching race & knowing she is to replace Vipasha.

BUt still I hope Prachi succeeds in bollywood.
