Minissha Lamba is all excited about being signed for Madhur Bhandarkar's CORPORATE. The 21-year old who has endorsed more than a dozen products and is a sought-after face in the advertising world was approached by Madhur after he saw her performance in YAHAAN. "It is a dream come true for me working with a reckoned director like Madhur Bhandarkar. I didn't even ask him about my role. I was waiting to sign on the dotted line," Minissha recalls.

In the film, she plays the role of a senior executive who joins a corporate firm after graduating from a management college. "I later learnt that the role is a very challenging one. The girl works her way up the corporate ladder and finds her life undergoing a major change in the process," Minissha reveals. Bipasha Basu plays the role of an ambitious career woman and mentor, who guides her in her career moves. Minissha says she is eagerly looking forward to working with her. "I have seen most of her films though I haven't met her yet. She is among the finest actresses in the new genre and it will be a great experience," she articulates. The shooting for CORPORATE begins next month.

Besides CORPORATE, Minissha has Suresh Krisshna's ROCKY, in which she is paired opposite Zayed Khan. In the film she plays the role of a London-based girl who helps Zayed get over the past demons in his life. "It is a romantic film but the heroine in the film has more to herself than merely supporting the hero," she says.

Unlike other new actresses who have no qualms about exposing on screen, Minissha has both the poise and discretion, to decide what suits her aesthetically on screen. "I am not against wearing revealing outfits but I feel that it is important not to lose the dignity of your on-screen character. It is important that the character on screen does not succumb to the pressures of salability," says the discerning 21-year old. According to her, it is very important to have an organized and focused approach to work. "You should know where you want to go and how you intend to go there. I am here to make a success of my career and I have got all my priorities right," she says with a smile.
