Isha Koppikar - "Ayalaan is the most awaited magnum opus set to release-on,"Sankranti

Isha has come a long way since she debuted in Bollywood with the iconic Khalaas song in the film Company. Followed by Krishna Cottage Kya Kool Hai Hum, Don, Shabri, Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi, and many more films. Now she is playing a full-fledged action role of an assassin in "Ayalaan" as Elisa.

We have seen sci-fi in Hollywood but in Bollywood we aren't releasing any alien films. This is a world wide release in 5 languages.
