Radio Jockey and television host Roshan Abbas is all set for his directorial debut Always, Kabhi Kabhi, a small-budget film produced by Shah Rukh Khan.
The movie explores life in high school and the joys and anxiety youngsters go through in their most formative years. It is slated to be released on June 17.
Based on the play Graffiti, which Abbas had written and directed back in 1999, Always, Kabhi Kabhi could spring a box office surprise.
The film stars four new faces. Here's a look at them.
Zoa Morani
Zoa Morani, daughter of Cineyug's Karim Morani, will make her acting debut here. Zoa has earlier worked as an assistant director in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om.
The Moranis share a long bonding with Shah Rukh Khan, as they have been organising shows abroad.
It is reported that SRK is going the extra mile to ensue that the newbie doesn't get overexposed. He has banned her from making any public appearance for some time.
Giselle Monteiro

Brazilian model Giselle Monteiro, 20, surely must have made her presence felt as the Badshah of Bollywood made the call many young girls would kill to receive.
Shah Rukh liked her performance in Love Aaj Kal so much that he recommended Giselle for the role in Always, Kabhi Kabhi.
Ali Fazal
