Rohan Sippy takes Newcomer Rhea Chakrvarthy in his next film.

The 24-year-old newbie has just got her luck right. The actress started her career as a TV host before dabbling in a Telugu film. Last year, she bagged Mere Dad Ki Maruti and the trailer proved lucky for her.

Rhea Chakrovarthy wasn’t really at the venue when she caught Rohan Sippy’s attention, so much that the filmmaker decided to sign her up for his forthcoming film.

Apparently Rohan Sippy discovered Rhea at the premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. But he didn’t actually meet her. Turns out that the trailer of Mere Dad Ki Maruti – in which Rhea is making her big screen Hindi debut – was attached with the film and that’s how Rohan got to know about the young Bengali beauty.

Rohan was already on the lookout for an unknown name and Rhea obviously impressed him. He is now willing to cast her in his next. In fact, he even called her for the screen test,” the source said.
