Well, if rumours are to be believed, then the gorgeous girl has impressed hotshot director Imtiaz Ali with her stunning portfolio. After finding fame in smash hits like Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal, Imtiaz is all set to direct another love story with Ranbir Kapoor in the lead and Mamta has been pencilled in as a possible candidate to play the heroine. While the actress remained unavailable for comment, sources claim that she has refused to shoot for noted director Kamal’s film, which also features Dileep and Tamil actor Sathyaraj. Citing ‘severe fever’ and the flu as reasons, Mamta did not report to the sets of the shoot at Ooty. The question being asked in the Malayalam film industry now is, will Mamta quit south cinema, and prepare herself for Bollywood like Trisha, who has completely stopped signing new films?
A leading production manager from the Malayalam film industry, who is also close to the actress, confirmed, “She is indeed not feeling too well due to her hectic schedule and wants to take a break for a few weeks during which period she will not be shooting. And as far as Bollywood is concerned, like any other actress in the south, she is on the look out for a good role in a Hindi film.”
The demure heroine of Hariharan’s off-beat Malayalam film Mayookham (2005), turned glamorous with a vengeance in Lanka (2005), after her first three films bombed. Later, she tried to migrate to Kollywood with Vishal’s Sivapathigaram, which also bombed and she was labelled unlucky.
She moved to Tollywood and found fame as a singer due to her closeness to music director Devi Sri Prasad. Recently, she tried to make a comeback in a very glamorous role opposite Madhavan in Guru En Aalu, but the film failed. This has lent credence to rumours making the rounds that she is all set to migrate to Bollywood, as she is unhappy with the slow pace of her career as an actress down south.
