Remember Rahul Roy from 'Aashiqui'? Here's the 90s actor now

Rahul Roy, a successful model, made his transition to acting with Mahesh Bhatt's Aashiqui (1990). The movie, starring Roy and Anu Aggarwal in the lead, narrated a heart-wrenching tale of two lovers. Rahul Roy turned into an overnight sensation soon after the release of Aashiqui. But the failure of a few movies after Aashiqui led to a slump in his acting career. 

Rahul Roy's comeback to movies 

For the past few years, Rahul Roy has been missing from the screen. Although the actor has done a few movies in the past, all of them have turned into box office failures. However, the Aashiqui star will be returning to the big screen with yet another heart-wrenching tale. Recently, Rahul Roy revealed that he would be making a movie on migrant workers, which by the looks of it seems like an emotional tale of a man and his accomplice. Rahul Roy previously worked in films like Meri Aashiqui (2005), Naughty Boy (2006), Crime Partner (2010), among others. However, none of the above-mentioned movies worked at the box office, keeping Rahul Roy away from the limelight.
