Remember the tall, fair Indian actress by the name of Pooja Batra, who suddenly vanished into nothingness because her career didn’t take off the way she wanted it to. In case you don’t know, she did not vanish but actually relocated to the US where she set up a production company and is now doing a movie in which she’s also going to play the central character of an astronaut.
The project is titled One under the Sun and it’s directed by Vincent Tran. Her role, it is said, is inspired by the real-life Indian woman astronaut Kalpana Chawla’s foray into space. Hmm… Pooja B, make sure your acting career in Hollywood doesn’t remain in open space for a stretched period of time. Otherwise you’ll disappear from there as well, just like you did from Bollywood.
