Antra
Maali daughter of ace-photographer 'Jagdish Maali'.
She was slow to start under the arc lamps. Breakthrough
came for her with a brief cameo offer in Mast,
after which the film’s director 'Ramgopal Varma'
not only became her mentor but also a savior for her
non-happening career.
Antra Maali acted as an author-backed role in Ramu’s
film Company opposite Vivek Oberoi
from where she was groomed as an actress and she graduated
from second fiddle roles to being a heroine in Ramu’s
Road. Antara made her Bollywood debut
in a small budget film called Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge.
The film went unnoticed and to Antara’s dismay
her second film Dum Dum Diga Diga was
shelved halfway through.
Then she came in Ramgopal Varma's Darna Mana
Hai which has six stories interwoven together
into a single movie. In the first story she is acting
with Sohail Khan which revolves around a young, married
couple stuck in the middle of a dense forest. Then she
snapped up the in the leading role in Ramgopal Varma’s
film with an unusual title Main Madhuri Dixit
Banna Chahti Hoon. The film is said to be based
on a heroine-oriented story and will have Antara pairing
with the lesser-known Rajpal Yadav.
Antara Mali will play Tusshar Kapoor's love interest
in an untitled film to be made by Ramgopal Varma.
