September 3, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): For those who have been wondering where Ram Gopal Varma's prized discovery Mohit Ahlawat vanished. The young gym toned actor made his debut in Ram Gopal Varma's 'James' in 2005. He had the guts to tell his mentor in his face that his script for the remake of 'Sholay' would never work.

Mohit paid heavily for his outspokenness. He was banished not only from Ram Gopal Varma's production house but also from Bollywood.

Last heard he had walked out of 'Ghajini' because he found his role (Of the cop) too inconsequential.

Thereafter Mohit seemed to disappear from the face of earth. His phone number has changed and apparently he has gone back to his family business in Panipat and Delhi.

But now one sees him part of the ensemble cast in debutant director Akshay Shere's 'Emotional Aatyachar.'

Mohit and Shere go a long way back, to their days together in Ram Gopal Varma's production house. Even Shere seems unaware of Mohit's whereabouts. But he does let out that Mohit was in hospital lately.

"I think it is for some intestine or stomach problem. Too much work out has taken its toll on him," informs the director.

Ironically the bout of ill health has deprived Mohit of the little bit of attention that his new film would have got him.

Even more ironically director Mohit Shere says Mohit plays, "A businessman who meets some bizarre people."

Sounds like Mohit's own story.
