Actor Ashish Chaudhary, who doesn't have a single hit to his credit, certainly knows how to remain in business. He has just bagged director Indra Kumar's next film "Dhamaal".

The film, a multi-starrer, also has Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffrey and the famous on screen comic pair Sanjay Dutt-Arshad Warsi in pivotal roles.

Apart from "Dhamaal", Ashish is working in Jayant Gilator's "White Land", based on the plight of salt workers in Dandi. He plays a village youth and sports a rustic look in the film that also stars "Lagaan" girl Gracy Singh. The shooting of "White Land" has been concluded.

He will also be seen sharing screen space with Hollywood actor Peter Smith in a tentatively titled action thriller "Gumshuda".

Other films in Ashish's kitty are Vikram Bhatt's "Speed" with Zayed Khan and Aftab Shivdasani; the romantic comedy "Kisse Pyar Karoon" with Udita Goswami; and Ramesh Katkar's "Rokda" with Tanushree Dutta, Arshad, Samita Shetty, Ashmit Patel and Riya Sen.

For Ashish, 2006 was not fruitful so far in terms of box office success as his only release "Teesri Aankh" bombed. But he is making his presence felt with an Onida television advertisement.
