Mumbai, Jan 22 (IANS) Soha Ali Khan is emerging as an actress with great potential.

He says: "Her name came up among the many actresses who were being considered for the role and I said, why not. When she came in front of the camera it took me merely 30 seconds to take the decision that she was my Sonia in the film." 

Soha plays a diehard optimist who is engaged to pilot Ajay Rathod played by R. Madhavan and feels passionately about issues relating to youth. 

Mehra feels Soha is a natural and effortless performer. 

"I couldn't have been luckier. I would describe her as the enchanting actress. I am looking forward to doing more films with her in the future," he says.

Dino dances to glory in Pooja's 'Holiday'

With two big releases lined up in a row, Dino Morea is on a new high. 

One of the movies is Ananth Mahadevan's "Aksar". The second film, also eagerly awaited, is Pooja Bhatt's "Holiday". 

In "Holiday" Dino plays a trained dance performer who helps the protagonist played by Onjolee Nair realise her self-esteem and sense of worth through the art of dancing, reports Bollywood Trade. 

Recently, at a slick preview of the film, the spectators were full of praise for Dino and Onjolee's heart-rending performance. 

Dino was surprised when some viewers asked him whether he is a professionally trained dancer. 

"It is something that was achieved in exactly one month's time, with a lot of practice, dedication and hard work. The credit goes to the choreographers, Bosco and Caesar, who inspired me to try those complex dance steps."
