The star kids of Bollywood who have not been able to make it big are all trying to make a comeback. Most of them have tried numerous times and have failed to make a mark. Some have tried twice, some thrice. But none could build a career of their own.

Thought most trade analysts portray that none of them will be able to make a difference, none of them agreed to come on record because they didn’t want to discourage the newcomers who are taking a second jab at life but they had one single opinion, “none of the star kids who are are trying for a second coming will be able to make a difference. They will all fade into oblivion and this will be the last time they will be seen on the big acreen.

Critics’ evaluation: Too wodden in expressions. Could not match up to the role. Biggest drawback is that he doesn’t get the right expressions on-screen .

Fate of Debut Film: Total washout. Film didn’t last till even the first day at most centres. By evening, theatres were mostly empty.

Quote: The negative of being a star kid part is lot of people dislike or hate you because of the perception that is created. They feel you (star kid) get everything easily on a platter but it is not the case for everyone. The positive part is to be part of this beautiful and magical world of films and entertain people. I met Umesh and liked the way he looks at things as a director, his thought process etc. Our sensibilities matched. It was the script that attracted me to do this film. I am playing the parallel lead in the film.
