Bollywood
actresses
going
down
south
to
try
their
luck
in
South
Indian
cinema
is
not
an
unheard
news.
From
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
who
started
out
with
a
Mani
Ratnam's
South
Indian
flick,
to
Katrina
Kaif,
every
leading
Bollywood
actress
has
ventured
down
south.
Though
the
growth
of
the
Sandalwood
film
industry
in
South
India
has
been
slow,
it
has
not
prevented
filmmakers
and
producers
from
investing
large
amount
of
money,
which
go
into
the
making
of
good
films.
The
latest
addition
to
the
list
of
big
budget
movies
made
in
Sandalwood
is
Contract.
It
not
only
boasts
of
a
whopping
budget
of
Rs.
15
crore,
but
also
stars
some
of
the
popular
young
faces
from
Bollywood.
According
to
reports,
Bollywood
actress
Minissha
Lamba
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
lead
role
in
the
upcoming
Sandalwood
venture.
Romancing
her
onscreen
is
Arjun,
who
is
all
set
to
stage
a
comeback
to
Sandalwood
with
Contract.
The
Bollywood
connection
in
Contract
does
not
end
with
Minnisha
though.
Joining
her
will
be
Mallika
Sherawat,
who
will
reportedly
do
an
item
number
for
the
Ramachandra
production.
The
producer
candidly
admits
that
he
initially
had
actress
Anushka
Sharma
in
mind
for
Minnisha
Lamba"s
role
in
Contract.
However,
with
things
not
working
out
between
the
crew
and
Anushka,
the
next
best
option
was
Minnisha.
With
names
like
Arjun,
Minnisha
Lamba
and
Mallika
Sherawat
to
boast
of
and
a
million
dollar
budget
set
aside
for
the
film
Contract
sure
sounds
like
a
superhit
in
the
making.
