SCOOP!! & NEWS Rambha returns to the roots18th Jan 2005 16.20 IST By P. Sreekumaran In one of those delicious ironies, ravishing Rambha has returned to her roots: Malayalam films. It was way back in 1992 that Amritha, (that was Rambha's original name) the belle from Andhra, began her career. Her first film: ‘Sargam’ in Malayalam. Luckily for her, it was a smashing hit. However, expectations that roles would automatically come to her were belied. The downswing in her fortunes forced Rambha to migrate to Telugu and Tamil film worlds. And she was a big hit there. But as it happens so often, luck deserted her again. A desperate Rambha had to do even item numbers for sheer survival. Invasion of new and younger heroines was one reason that resulted in Rambha being eased out of meaty roles in Tollywood and Kollywood. That's when she took the decision to be back in Mollywood. And lo and behold! Rambha, who in the meantime burned her fingers by producing a film "Three Roses", has landed a plum role almost immediately. The glam girl, who in between acted with Govinda in two Hindi films, will play the heroine in Dilip's next film "Kochi Rajavu". She also figures in a Bengali film featuring Mithun Chakraborty . Incidentally, the two Malayalam films she did in Mollywood in 2003 and 2004 were big hits. In 2003 she was superstar Mammootty 's love angle in "Chronic Bachelor". It clicked at the box office. Then, in 2004, she co-starred with Jayaram in "Mayilattam", again a huge success. So, this is the third time that Rambha has returned to where it all began. And she seems set to enjoy success again, this time in the company of Dileep, who also needs a hit after a lacklustre 2004. | ALSO READ scoop ~ Hrithik Roshan to play lord Ram? ~ Sada enters Bollywood with 'Khallballi' ~ Konkona Sen does a lesbian act! ~ Ash and Bon Jovi unite for Live Earth ~ How Salman improvised a romantic scene with Katrina! ~ Katrina Kaif did 'Yuvvraaj' for emotional reasons ~ When Zayed Khan learned to gamble ~ Priyanka Chopra as 'Goddess of Atlantis' ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Big B, Bon Jovi and Roger Waters team up for a cause ~ 'Oye Lucky!
