She set the screen on fire with her two erotic numbers in Musafir but those numbers and an extended role in the film didnt take Koena Mitra too far as an actress in Bollywood.
But her Insan , in which she was paired opposite Ajay Devgan , proved to be a dud at the box-office.
But Koena hasnt lost all hope as yet. The Bengali bombshell is upbeat about her next film titled Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, in which she is paired opposite Fardeen Khan .
Directed by Feroze Khan , Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena has Koena playing a doctor named Natasha.
The half of the movie is over and it is likely to be released in June or July this year.
Koena, who recently rejected a guest role in Prakash Jha s 'Apaharan', starring Devgan, has also opted out of David Dhawan 's 'Shaadi Number One' as there were six heroines in the movie.
Koena has ruled out doing any item numbers in the future and is hopeful that one day she will get an opportunity to act with big stars.
Hope Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena does wonders for Koenas career.
