Expressing her desire to join actors who have turned up in Hollywood, ’Khallas girl’ Isha Koppikar says she plans to head towards New York to boost her career in Hollywood after completing her pending projects.
"After finishing my part for Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi , Hello Darling and Hello , I intend to take a one month break and enhance my networking amongst Hollywood circles," Isha says.
"I have an agent in New York, but the arrangement won’t work till I make my presence felt there," says the actress who first came into limelight with the item number ’Khallas’ in Company .
The glam diva, who has been appreciated for her role as a paan chewing inspector in Kyaa Kool Hai Hum and has portrayed a variety of roles including that of a ghost in Krishna Cottage and a lesbian in Girlfriend , will soon be seen in Rajshri’s ’Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi’ and Atul Agnihotri ’s ’Hello’ in prominent roles.
While ’Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi’ is a love story set in the backdrop of music, ’Hello’ is an onscreen adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s famous novel ’One night at the Call Centre,’ she says.
Relishing the prospect of playing the lead role in ’Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi’, Isha says, "It’s the journey of a woman in the world of music, that also deals with her love interest, how they meet and get separated."
’Hello Darling’, Shabri , ’Raakh’, Right Yaaa Wrong and ’Mujhe Rang De’ are some of the other movies in which she will be seen later this year.
Isha is yearning to star opposite Ranbhir Kapoor amongst a host of new actors who have emerged in the last couple of years.
"I am a die hard fan of his father’s radiant smile. There is no one who could better him with a guitar or in a quawwali scene," she says. "Perhaps this is the way I can fulfill my crush on him," she adds.
An expert in Taekwondo, Isha is keen to flaunt her action skills," I would love to play the lead in a solo action flick, a la-Lara Croft types where I’m not cluttered with other actors," she says.
