Tara Sharma co-stars with Vivek Oberoi

Tara Sharma has been seen in quite a few interesting films such as Masti, Page 3 and Khosla Ka Ghosla to name a few. However, post Khosla Ka Ghosla, Tara hasn't had a single release barring her cameo act in Heyy Babyy. Now the chirpy actress is all set to be seen in a variety of roles in the coming months.

Tara has in fact been signed by none other than Dharma Productions for their Saif- Kareena-Vivek starrer which Rensil D'silva will be directing. An excited Tara says, "Yes, I am doing Rensil's film. I got a call from the casting and production team at Dharma Productions. They asked me to go through the script. I read the script and really liked my role. The film is a political thriller and I am paired opposite Vivek Oberoi. It's not a very big role but it's definitely interesting and pivotal to the story. Moreover, I didn't want to miss out on a chance working with such a reputed banner. I am looking forward to start shooting for the film end of next month."

December will also see the release of her long awaited film Maharathi, where she stars alongside stalwarts such as Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri etc. "Yes I am really excited that Maharathi is finally releasing. I play this nerdy, gawky architecture student who is quite a mysterious character. It's not a conventional glamorous role; in fact I go completely de-glam for this role. Till the end, the audience doesn't know if she is good or bad. I really had a wonderful time working with actors like Pareshji, Naseer saab and Om Puri. The energy, enthusiasm and passion which they have for their craft is something which people even half their age don't have. Pareshji has directed the play on which the film is based and most of my scenes in the film are with him so he was always there providing valuable inputs which really helped me", says the actress.

After Maharathi, Tara has Ashok Amritraj's The Other End of The Line with Jesse Metcalfe and Shriya Saran. It's released in the States and should be out here early next year. Then she has a film called Suno Na in which she plays a pregnant single woman. The film has a socially relevant message and is directed by a lady director - Ami Thanawala. She has also just finished a film called Mocktail which is a comedy starring Rajat Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, Koel Purie and Tara. Besides two of her films- The Whisperers and Amavas have been ready for release a while ago.

Shriya Saran and Tara Sharma enters Hollywood

Shriya Saran, Tara Sharma and Anupam Kher are going to star in the forthcoming Hollywood film, The Other End Of the Line.

Unlike the stereotyped crossover movies which deal with NRI families in the western countries, The Other End Of the Line shows Shriya playing a credit card company's customer service manager who lives in India, and like any other call-centre employee, she pretends to be American to her callers. But as luck would have it, she falls in love with an American caller played by Jesse Metcalfe (of 'The Desperate Housewives' fame). She then decides to take adventurous trip to USA without informing her parents, played by Anupam Kher and Sushmita Mukherjee. The film has its breath-taking moments when, even though, after meeting Jesse, Shriya decides not to reveal her true identity to him (Shriya tells him that she is from San Francisco).

The story takes yet another twist when Shriya's parents reach States and bring her back home and our American hero is left wondering what to do next. The film is yet another love story between an Indian girl and an American boy, though it would be interesting to see how the subject is dealt with this time. This is Shriya's first Hollywood film and her performance strikes you looking at the promo. And also, there's a hot steamy kiss between the Shriya and Jesse to look forward to.

Produced by Ashok Amritraj, The Other End Of the Line is being directed by James Dodson.
