One saw her last in her most glamorous role till date in Kidnap few months back, In a complete contrast to it now, Minissha will be seen in a very rustic village girl role in Shyam Benegal's next.

The acclaimed filmmaker has roped her for the main female lead in his next, tentatively titled, Abba Ka Kuan. She will play Boman Irani's daughter in the film. The film is being produced by Reliance Big Entertainment.

This will be Shyam Benegal's next comic venture after the success of Welcome To Sajjanpur. Boman Irani plays a double role in the film.

Benegal tells us, "It is a comedy, it is also a satire. It is a little more political than what my last film was and I hope it will be very funny. The main part is of Boman Irani.

He is a wonderful actor" informed the director recently. This is a story close to the heart of Benegal since it will be shot in his home town Hyderabad. Boman of course is very excited with the project."

Minissha Lamba is mighty pleased the way her career graph is spiralling upwards. The actress has had a success like Bachna Ae Haseeno recently.

"I have been selective about what I do but yes, I am satisfied with the way my career has been shaping up. I have always believed in an upward graph at the box office. I always wanted it to be slow and my career is indeed winding from better to the best."

Looking back at her career she says, "I had nobody in the industry. I just fought my way up here. I have been very selective and am not doing films for the heck of it."
