Remember the time? Does Chandrachur Singh ring a bell?


Well if you can't place this name, let me refresh your memory. Chandrachur Singh was a promising actor from the Hindi heartland and I quite liked him. He seemed promising as I liked his diction, his dialogue delivery and his confidence. He was okay looking but seemed good enough to play the lead role thanks to his presentable looks. But it was his good acting and screen prescence that indicated he was here for a long haul.


Let me list his movies. He started with Tere Mere Sapne which was a ABCL presentation. If that isn't enough, Arshad Warsi was his co-star and the movie had a couple of fine numbers and a decent plot and good performances by all the lead actors. It was a hit and he on his way. He later did Maachis, Daag-The Fire (Sanjay Dutt), Kya Kehna and Josh (opposite Aishwarya Rai). So he wasn't a one hit wonder. yet his later roles were awful and he got sucked up in the quagmire of Bollywood and was not heard of later. Nice to know he is around and is keen on a longer innings.


He will star in a movie called Maruti Mera Dost to be produced by his brother Abhimanyu Singh who runs Contiloe Films. The film is a children's film and also stars child artiste from Cheeni Kum - Swini Khara.
