Manisha Koirala has her hands full. While she has as many as five films on the floors, she has launched her own production company, Moving Images, and has decided to produce "quality television software and feature films". But she still has her head firmly on her shoulder.

She "chanced upon great subjects" while in the US some time back and had a hunch that she would make a successful businesswoman. Manya was so bowled over by a "marvellous stage play" that she decided to adapt it for the screen.

Surprisingly for an actress still in the business, the Nepali beauty isn`t acting in her own film. The thriller would in all likelihood feature Sushmita Sen in the lead. For the Hindi version of the classic Fedora, her second production, she has several actresses in mind, unless the director Sudhir Mishra has his way and casts Shabana Azmi and Manisha herself as an actress and her daughter respectively. Good going, Manya, you sure are on the right track as an aspiring "businesswoman".
