In spite having a marital life, Manisha Koriala is busy and on her toes with various projects in Bollywood and south as well.

While audience is waiting to see her in Onir's 'I Am', the actress has signed in for Deepti Naval's forthcoming project. Titled 'Do Paise Ki Dhoop Char Aane Ki Baarish', Manisha features as a sex worker and the story is said to be inspired from a real-life one. According to sources, Manisha plays Juhi, who also is a mother of a handicapped son. One night, she happens to come across a struggling gay lyricist. Soon an emotional bond binds the three together.

Manisha was said to be quite excited to hear that her character had been inspired by a real sex worker whose story Deepti had heard through a friend. However, it was a challenge to portray Manisha as an ordinary woman. For the director wanted to show a sari-clad sex worker and not a mini-skirt clad one someone who is a bit neglected. "She wears dark red lipstick, keeps her hair open and wears dark and bright colours like red, maroon and purple. She had to look like a mother and struggler," added the sources about Koirala's look in the film.

The music of 'Do Paise Ki Dhoop Char Aane Ki Baarish' has been done by Sandesh Shandilya and the lyrics by Gulzar. Noted cinematographer Kiran Deohans is said to have beautifully captured Mumbai during the monsoon season.

Currently Manisha is waiting for the release of her Tamil film 'Mappillai'. Besides, she recently made her screen debut in a Malayalam movie. Looks like Ms. MK is back to the filmy ground in full josh....
