When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. And if Tarun is tough, he had better got going.

Never has a career been in so much strife as Tarun's is now.

The young hero's career that at one point looked supremely poised is now decidedly in the dumps. His personal life is also in a shambles.

In the event, his Oka Voorilo, set for release this week, his one last straw of hope.

To be sure, he will get another chance to another film even if Oka Voorilo crumbles.

But Oka Voorilo will clearly show whether he is made of sterner stuff or not.

Luckily for him, the film promises a lot. Cast alongside him are Raja and Saloni.

Tarun is said to play a different kind of lover boy in the film. Director Ramesh Verma, who has been a poster designer, has all the technical nous and finesse to make a film of his production values.

But his story-telling abilities are still untested. The film said to be a powerful love story set in the rural backdrop.

Tarun is always a game trier and he can be expected to give his best.

But will that be enough?
