She’s 32 and knows time is running out. Maybe that’s why Eesha Koppikar has six back-to-back film releases lined up — that’s half-a-dozen reasons to stay optimistic. “This will be the turning point in my career,” insists the Khallas girl.
She will hit the screens for the first time in October, with Atul Agnihotri’s Hello based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestseller One night at a Call Centre She plays Isha Singh, an aspiring model looking for a break at the fashion week. “My role in the film is meatier than my character’s in the book,” says Koppikar.
She switches roles with ease — In Kaushik Ghatak’s Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi, she plays a singer who marries another singer, she is a working woman in Mumbai in Manoj Tiwari’s Hello Darling, a desi remake of Jane Fonda’s Nine To Five, in Jahnu Barua’s Har Pal, she is an airhostess alongside Preity Zinta In Shabri she is an underworld don while in Right Ya Wrong she plays a vampish interior designer.
Koppikar says the chance to display her acting prowess has so far eluded her. “Now, I have lead roles and the audience will see a different side of me,” she adds.
Not that she’s unhappy with the item girl tag. “Even today, Hema Malini is known as the Dream Girl. I can’t change people’s perception,” she argues before adding that there is unlikely to be another Khallas number from her soon
In Hello Darling, however, she has a peppy dance scene opposite Celina Jaitley and in Hello she does a jig with Sohail Khan.
And like every other actress in Bollywood, she has her eyes set on Beverly Hills. “My Los Angeles agent Simone Chefield has fixed a few appointments with some Hollywood directors. I want to act in an action flick with John Woo,” says Koppikar. Sure. Maybe first she should trying getting cast opposite Akshay Kumar
