After foraying into Bollywood with Student Of The Year 2, Tara Sutaria is gearing up for the release of Marjaavaan. While the college caper saw her in a glam avatar, the actor explores the other end of the spectrum with the Milap Zaveri-directed venture that sees her play a mute character, Zoya. It may well be a demanding role, but the director knew he had found his Zoya during his very first meeting with Sutaria. "I met Tara at a party hosted by Monisha Advani [producer of Satyameva Jayate]. I found her pretty and was aware that she had been a host for a kids' channel. Monisha told me that Tara has already been signed on by Karan Johar. She had an air of innocence and vulnerability, which fit the character perfectly," he explains.
