Just about a month back, Payal Rohatgi seemed to be the most happening actress with 4 of her movies lined up for release - 'Chetna', 'Mazaa Mazaa', 'Men Not Allowed' and 'Ek Se Mera Kya Hoga'.

Each of these movies belonging to the erotica genre were supposed to strike the silver screen one after another from late June onwards till mid-July with 'Mazaa Mazaa' [a remake of '13 Going On 30'] being the first to release. Ironically on the day 'Mazaa Mazaa' was to be released, her 'Chetna' came in instead and bombed at the box office.

Call it due the fate of 'Chetna' or the inflow of numerous biggies this season [Paheli, Parineeta, Sarkar, Dus etc.], but the scenario seems bleak as none of her other three movies are anywhere in the pipeline to be released.

Knowing Payal being a gutsy woman, one is sure that she would still be keeping her fingers crossed and praying for the success of at least one of the three pending releases.
