Sameer Dharmadhikari - Journey from 'Game' of politics to the battleground
What a strange journey it has been for Sameer Dharmadhikari. A popular model, he made his debut 7 years back with Prakash Jha directed 'Dil Kya Kare'. With a starcast of Ajay Devgan, Kajol, Chandrachur Singh and Mahima Chaudhary, he was hardly noticed in the flick. He had his first major Bollywood outing with none other than Madhur Bhandarkar in 'Satta'. With a meaty role to boost and critical acclaim to cherish, he seemed to have made his presence felt as an accomplished actor who would be seen in many more interesting films. Not many are aware but in between 'Dil Kya Kare' and 'Satta', he was also seen in a small part in Hollywood production 'Quicksand' which was directed by Sam Firstenberg. But from hereon, it was all downhill for the actor. His next release 'Agnipankh' sunk without a trace while his only notable project after 'Satta, 'Raincoat', didn't really have much for him to do. After that he had inconsequential projects like Nigehbaan - The Third Eye, Rafta Rafta - The Speed, Husn - Love And Betrayal, Madhubaala, Katputhli and Manoranjan, none of which really helped him gain a solid ground at the box office. Now come his next film 'Game' [in fact the only film of his that is due for release in coming months] where he shares screen with Mona a.k.a. Menaka a.k.a. Sherlyn Chopra. A thriller with Prashant Narayanan, Mukesh Tiwari, Anil Nagrath and Govind Namdeo forming the rest of the starcast and Shivram Yadav [director of Madhubala] at the helm of direction, it again hardly seems hardly a product that would be able to do justice to Sameer's stint with Bollywood. Will he get another good opportunity soon?
