The film is called 'Rocket Singh, Salesman Of The Year' and promises to be an interesting debut.

Sonakshi Sinha:

Shatrughan Sinha's daughter, was all set to start her Bollywood innings with Anurag's brother Abhinav Kashyap's debut venture, opposite Salman Khan. But then came the news that she has walked out of the film after reading the script, in hopes of a more substantial role. Starting out by playing a diva?

Narmmadaa Ahuja:

Narmada now spelt as Narmmadaa, daugther of Govinda has already consulted a numerologist and added letters to her name, it's only a matter of time before the film is actually announced. She hasn't revealed her debut film but her pictures have lately been crowding the tabloids.

Shraddha Kapoor:

The film was a flop at the box office but as an actor, Jacky is still to prove hi metalle.

Naveed Ozman:

Luv Sinha:

Shotgun wanted his son Luv to study at the Film Institute in Pune, but the youngster pooh-poohed the offer because they don't teach 'dance' and 'action' there.
