&ldquo;I took a slight break because I had to set up my business but now I&rsquo;m looking at scripts as well. I have a couple of interesting projects in the pipeline, one of which is a Marathi film. The other will be made in Hindi and both of them are female oriented with strong characters.&rdquo; Isha tells CS more about her plans: <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/may/isha.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 553px; " /> Who: Isha Koppikaru00a0 What: Talks about her future plansu00a0 Marathi film industry I want to contribute to the Marathi film industry and act in woman&ndash;centric movies as well. I feel that films are a huge medium in our country and can be used as a means to educate while being entertained. This thought occurred to me when I planned to set up my own NGO that would deal with the upliftment of the girl child apart from helping the underprivileged. Revisiting item numbers I love dancing and I&rsquo;m open to even doing some great item numbers. I have done Khallas and Aaj Ki Raat and I want to do similar kinds of songs. I believe item numbers are a great crowd puller. When the trailer is out, the first look has to captivate them. If the first look is bad, then it&rsquo;s tough to garner the footfall in the theatre.u00a0I have always believed in item songs. There&rsquo;s nothing wrong in them. In fact, nowadays it has become almost mandatory for films to have item songs. My first love No matter what business I do, cinema and the various facets of cinema will always be my first love. I have decided to open my own production house as well, where we will be looking into making films that make a difference to the society. By this, I don&rsquo;t mean preachy stuff, but cinema that educates. Business plans I plan to enter my husband&rsquo;s family business as well. I will be starting my own chain of restaurants sometime in the near future. It&rsquo;s a joint collaboration between me and one of my childhood friends. Keeping this in mind, I even attended a hospitality course in the US recently. I did a specialised course in coffee-making where I learned about various beans and blends of coffee. I have decided to bring all of it to India via my hospitality line. The restaurant line is my pet project that will have yummy food with a healthy twist as I am both a foodie and a gym freak.u00a0
