Manisha Koirala to Make a Comeback

Actress Manisha Koirala, best known for her performances in films like “Khamoshi,” “1942: A Love Story,” “Bombay” and “Dil Se,” is set to make a comeback in Bollywood after a brief break. “There are three films whose script I have okayed. I am meeting two more directors and I am okaying those scripts as well,” Manisha told reporters Mar. 29.

“This year I will be working (on these films)... so next year would be a kind of comeback," she said. The 42-year-old Nepali-Indian actress made her acting debut in Bollywood with Subhash Ghai’s “Saudagar” (1991), which was a huge hit. After years of success, she was later seen in several low-budget films like “Paisa Vasool” (2004), “Sirf” (2008) and a few others, which were box office duds. Recently, it was reported that Madhur Bhandarkar’s much-awaited film “Heroine” is inspired by Manisha’s life. Bhandarkar has, however, denied such reports.
