Maria Susairaj's infamy could just get her the acting roles that brought her to Mumbai three years ago, Ram Gopal Verma has rolled the first dice

Carlos Santana may have been strumming for another Maria when he croons about her "living the life just like a movie star", but what of Maria Susairaj? She was a struggling Kannada actress when she befriended Neeraj Grover, allegedly in the hope of entrenching herself in show business, on the silver screen or the small.

Accused of Grover's death in 2008, she was let off the charge of murder last Thursday and is all set to walk free. In fact, it looks like she might even be closer than ever to realising her Bollywood dreams, after all.
For, Ram Gopal Varma has already expressed a desire to work with her. "Yes, I would want to take her in my next film, if she is willing. Sometimes, it is not really just about acting. It is the combination of popularity, curiosity etc. And I am sure with the kind of life that she has led behind bars, she must have emotionally matured enough to be a decent actress," says RGV.
