Actress Isha Koppikar made a whirlwind trip to Chennai on Wednesday to meet a top director and finalize details about her Kollywood comeback.Yes, Isha, who has acted in several projects in Tamil, including En Swasa Kaatre and Nenjinile, is all set to work on a Tamil film after almost a decade.
Confirming the news, Isha says, ���������I had a meeting with producers and a director to zero in on my comeback film.
It���������s a meaty role and worth the wait. I also met with a few other people for a reality show in Tamil.��������� Prod her more and all she says is, ���������I can give out details only after I seal the deal.���������
Isha���������s last film in Tamil was Narasimha with Vijayakanth. Ask her if it was a conscious decision on her part to stay away from Kollywood and she says, ���������Not at all! I debuted with a Tamil film and have done a handful of successive movies as well. But I was based out of Mumbai and since offers from Bollywood also started pouring in, I couldn���������t concentrate on south Indian films. I found it difficult to juggle Kollywood and Bollywood.���������
But now, the actress says she���������s ready to start her career in Tamil again. ���������After marriage, life has been simply beautiful. My husband is supportive of my decision and I���������m even planning to get into the hospitality business in Mumbai. I���������m also going to be doing a film in Hindi and Tamil this year. Talks for a reality show in Tamil are also on,��������� she says.
A reality show in Chennai would require her to speak Tamil fluently. ���������I learnt Tamil when I was working in Chennai. But, it���������s been a long time since I spoke the language. But, I���������m a fast learner and am sure I can grasp the language quickly,��������� she promises. Isha says she���������s completely abreast of what���������s happening in the city and Kollywood. ���������I take time off to watch Tamil movies. I also keep track of my co-stars ��������� films.
