Nisha Kothari, the latest discovery of Ram Gopal Varma, is all set for a sizzling Bollywood debut in
James in which she has been paired opposite Mohit Ahlawat, also a new-comer.
"Ramu
saw some of my photographs and offered me the role without any auditions or screen tests," reveals
the 21-year-old model-turned-actress who also played a small role in Varma's Sarkar. Rumour has it
that it was her willingness to show skin on screen that worked in her favour.
Very few know that Nisha, who renamed herself Amoha, started her film career in Kollywood. Before
Bollywood beckoned, Amoha played the girl-next-door in Jay Jay, and paired opposite none other
than the chocolate-hero Madhavan.
The film failed miserably at the box-office and Amoha
faded from the Tamil movie scene. She has also appeared in RGV's Telugu production Madyahnam
Hatya.
