Where is Amisha Patel?

Amisha Patel entered Bollywood with a bang. Her debut film, Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai was a superhit. Her second release Gadar -- Ek Prem Katha also did well at the box office.

Soon enough, Patel was providing stiff competition to her immediate rival, Kareena Kapoor.

In the last few months, however, the young actress seems to have disappeared. Though her thriller with Abbas-Mustan, Humraaz, earned a decent amount of money, her next few films Yeh Jalwa, Kranti and Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage were major flops.

For the last couple of months, Patel has been performing at several concerts in the UK and

US. As of now, the only Amisha Patel starrer scheduled for release is Deepak Bahry's Parwana with Ajay Devgan. Though Devgan is hot, Parwana has been considerably delayed and it shows in the film's rushes.

Victor Banerjee eyes London's West End

He played a mild-mannered psychiatrist in Ram Gopal Varma's supernatural thriller, Bhoot. Now, Victor Banerjee will act in a musical The Far Pavilions directed by Gale Edwards (Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Miserables). 

The musical adaptation of M M Kaye's epic drama about love and war in the British Raj is scheduled to hit London's West End around March 2004.

Banerjee's next release is the Subhash Ghai production, Joggers Park (Perizaad Zorabian), directed by Anant Balani.
