Minissha Lamba in the Year 2007

Bollywood’s upcoming actress Minissha Lamba does not actually have a busy calendar this year, but she does have two interesting projects on line. She plays the role of a Parsi girl in Reema Kagti’s “Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. The script that fascinated her no end was what she had been dreaming about. Abhay Deol, whom she is paired with, makes for her lover, and they are crazily in love with each other. The other couples too are a crazy lot with unique quirkiness defining their characters.

Another movie that has come her way is Ananth Mahadevan’s “Anamika – The Untold Story”. Koena Mitra plays Dino Morea’s childhood sweetheart, while Minissha is his second wife in the movie based loosely on the novel “Rebecca”. She plays a young girl who is pushed into a new world unknown to her. Her life is a constant struggle, as she tackles all kinds of situations to find a new identity, meaning to life, and new love.

Isha to Act in Kalpana Lajmi’s Film

Isha Kopikar has been offered the role of a courtesan in Kalpana Lajmi’s next film. The pretty actress is thrilled to bits, especially when the role comes following Ashwaraya’s in Umrao Jaan. Although Ash failed to set the screen on fire, Ishaa is quite confident that she will do justice to the role.  The film that still seeks a title is based on a popular novel Sanyasi and Sundari.  Since it is a period film taking viewers to the times of Ashoka, it reflects upon the position of women then. Lajmi insists that it is not a movie about a nautch girl. According to her, courtesans were a respected lot and not treated as prostitutes. They were endowed with intellect and were skillful, the reason why they earned respect.

Shooting for the movie is billed to start in April this year and will be shot at one go. With financial constraints, Lajmi cannot afford to spend on large and luxurious sets. The movie will be shot with Rajasthan locales in the backdrop. Isha is a director’s actress and Lajmi is sure that she will be able to bring the best out of the talented actress.
