When Isha Koppikar shed her glamorous image for a forthcoming Ram Gopal Varma movie, she was unrecognizable on the film’s shooting sets.
In Ramu’s movie Shabri , Isha plays a woman who runs a crime racket from a Mumbai chawl. In accordance with her character, Isha sports a non-glamorized look in the film and even speaks foul language.
In fact, while shooting for the movie Isha looked so convincing in her new look that crewmembers on the sets often failed to recognize her.
A media report quotes Isha as saying: “One time, my production controller refused to get me in on set, as he couldn’t recognise me. Even executive producers get confused and fail to identify me in my get-up. Later on they’d come and apologise and I would say, ‘Superb!’ I’m glad that I look very convincing.”
In the coming weeks Isha would be seen in two important Bollywood movies. First, Ramu’s Darna Zaroori Hai hits the theatres this week. Then on May 5, Subhash Ghai’s 36 China Town will release. Isha plays a marginal role in the film.
