Zara Shah who played in Sekhar Kammula's "Life is beautiful" could get a chance to act with Nagarjuna in "Bhai" as his Behan- sister is roped in Gunasekhar's Rudrama Devi but again as a sister to Anushka.

Roles of all ages figure in a film.  But the audience focuses mainly on the hero and heroine(s).  That is why they are called lead roles.  Aspiring actors and actresses dream of getting lead roles.  It is because of the remuneration in addition to other benefits like respect, additional income attending the events like functions, show room openings and also ads if one is lucky enough to get them.

An image matters.  If one goes on acting in the roles of a sister or a friend or a colleague type of characters, they will be remembered by the directors only when they think of suitable actresses for that type of roles.  It is true that some or other has to play that role.  But if an actress can work on maintaining her body and glamour she may get good chances of getting a better role she deserves.

Zara Shah is given advice by her well-wishers that she should reduce the just developing fats clearly appearing around her face that gives an elderly look.

But there is another secret also.  Actors and actresses playing supporting roles get more opportunities than those of limiting themselves to lead roles.  So, it is one’s own strategy that works for them.
