Desperate times, as the cliche goes, call desperate actions.

A former hero Abbas, who started his career with high hopes, understands the truism only too well.

After being touted as a big star material,he just faded away (especially in Tamil).

Now the baby-faced actor is playing the villain in a new movie.

It is a desperation that Nitin,the film’s hero, only understands too well.

Now, Nitin is also in need of some urgent hit to salvage his career. He needs some fresh ideas.

And that is perhaps why they have brought Malayalam director Siddique to be in charge of this untitled movie.

Produced by Srinivasa Raju, the film went on to the floors yesterday.

Mani Sharma scores the music. A search is on for a suitable heroine.

Nitin, infact, is also searching for the elusive hit.
