Manisha as Indira

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">If you want to play the late Indira Gandhi in a movie, you better set your nose right. Well, this is exactly what Manisha Koirala seems to be doing while readying to play the late Indian PM in an N Chandra-directed film produced by Nitin Keni.<br /><br />‘‘Yes, I definitely need to get the nose right,’’ says Manisha, who also stars in Escape From Taliban, ‘‘We are trying out various nose jobs now to see which one suits me best.’’<br /><br />Life has been on a roll — professionally at least — for Manisha after Ek Chhoti Si Love Story.<br /><br />‘‘I have been through my share of upheavals,’’ says Manisha. But life does come full circle and things are different now. Thanks to the author-backed roles that Manisha has bagged.<br /><br />While Escape From Taliban sees Manisha portraying Sushmita Bandhopadhyay’s life, Market has her playing a Muslim girl married off to a rich Arab who escapes from her husband only to find herself in a brothel. <br /><br />And then, of course, there is Indira. Already past the silver-screen post is Escape From Taliban, a film about which Manisha is extremely confident. ‘‘The makers of the movie have put in a sincere effort and that’s what counts.’’<br /><br />In case you thought Manisha has only serious roles up her sleeve, there is Paisa Vasool, a Sushmita Sen-starrer produced by Manisha herself. ‘‘It’s a comedy with action scenes. But that’s the acting part. A producer’s life is tough!’’ she reveals. <br /><br />Still, this doesn’t prevent Manisha from being busy with her second home production, which will launch her kid brother Siddharth. <br /><br />Details please. ‘‘The film is being directed by Makarand Deshpande and the storyline is out of the world!’’ That’s a lot of info! But then, as Manisha might say, never be too nosey!<br /><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">pankaj.kapoor2000@indiatimes.com</span></div> </div>
