When Mohit Ahlawat - currently better known as James -- came to Mumbai, he was 127 kg, and star-struck.He decided to get into movies, and spent long hours outside Ram Gopal Varma's office.
He spoke to Patcy N about how he bagged his debut film, the upcoming Sholay remake, and how his fat dissolved into a very hot body. Here are some excerpts:
I went to meet Ram Gopal Varma and showed him my pictures. I always wanted to start my career with him. He was zapped. He told me not to do any film outside (his productions) and assured me he would do a film with me.
Before James, Ramu told me he would be planning a film with me. Ramu didn't have a script at that time, so he designed a script for me after meeting me.
