Not good looks but great talent always works: Minissha Lamba

The struggling actress, Minissha Lamba accepts the fact that admits her ultra-sensational look in `Kidnap` has unlocked a complete new series of opportunities for her. Now the young actress will be seen in Shyam Benegal`s upcoming film, `Well Done Abba’ where she feels that at the end of it is the talent which plays an essential role.

Minissha began her carrier as an actor from the critically acclaimed film, `Yahaan` opposite Jimmy Shergill in 2005 followed by films like `Corporate`, `Shaurya`, and Yash Raj Films` `Bachna Ae Haseeno`.

Minissha said,” My looks in `Kidnap` helped open a whole new and different range of opportunities for me. It is something I cherish. Being good looking is important, but not always. You need talent as well. If you have talent, people accept you regardless of the way you look.”

She even feels that being short is not at all a drawback in the film industry to which she explains, “If you are a model, having height is imperative, but cinema is a medium where it doesn’t matter. You are on a platform where being tall or short loses relevance.”

`Well Done Abba` is a political spoof that tells the story of Armaan Ali (Boman Irani) who is a driver in Mumbai. He begins his search for a husband for his young teenaged daughter staying in a small village near Hyderabad. But he returns to his job after three months rather than a month. His employer is then persuaded to listen to his reason that got him delayed.

The movie is produced by Reliance Big Pictures and is inspired by the two short stories – `Narsaiyyan Ki Bavdi` by Jeelani Bano and `Phulwa Ka Pul` by Sanjeev.

the movie also stars Samir Dattani, Ila Arun, Ravi Kisshan, Sonali Kulkarni and Yashpal Sharma and is all set to release on March 26.
