Richa, the child artiste turned model turned actress came on the scene with Shah Jahan, where she played the girl Vijay loved and lost. The film was a huge success but Richa could not capitalize on it. There were not many offers and her next solo heroine project, Alli Arjuna was also her last. In Unakkum Enakkum she was relegated to the role of heroine Trisha’s best friend and that effectively sounded the death knell on her career in Tamil cinema.
