The myth that models make unsuccessful stars rings true in the case of model-turned-actor Arjun Rampal. The actor has been slogging for almost five years with at least a dozen releases to his credit. Unfortunately, success has eluded him all the time. This week, disappointment continued with the dismal show of Apoorva Lakhias Ek Ajnabee. Arjun was pitted against the acting doyen Amitabh Bachchan as the film shaped into a crime thriller. Ek Ajnabee was Bollywoods adaptation of the Hollywood biggie Man on Fire 2004 where Big B played the protagonist with Arjun as his close aide. The role was that of ex-army where there was no female lead opposite him. If rumors are to be believed then there was speculation that Aamir was responsible for Arjuns ouster from Rang De Basanti. Rang De Basanti is supposed to hit the theatres in the last week of January. Besides the debacle of Ek Ajnabee, he has major flops like Elaan and Vaada to his credit. The first few weeks might be a surprise package for him when his Humko Sirf Tumse Pyar Hai will be released. The year has more attractions for him as he will be seen in Farhan Akhtars Don, Meridian, Darna Zaroori Hai and Karan Johars Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. In Farhan Akhtars Don he will be playing Prans character. Arjun admits that he has accepted the role without hearing since he has full trust in Farhans talent. Arjun has been successful too in getting role in Karan Johars much awaited Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. The major attractions of the film will be the presence of highly acclaimed actors like Shahrukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherjee. It can be treated as a comeback vehicle for this good looking model turned actor who has been craving for success
