The new Madhuri Dixit?

Looks like Isha Koppikar may have something in common with another Maharashtrian actress, Madhuri Dixit.

After struggling for five years in the film industry, Isha has found a mentor in Subhash Ghai. The filmmaker is relaunching Isha in his new production, Hello Darling.

The film is directed by first-timer Manoj Tiwari, and will costar Gul Panag, Celina Jaitley, Chunky Pandey and Rajpal Yadav.

Ghai had given Madhuri's career a boost with the big hits Ram Lakhan and Khalnayak. The films cemented Madhuri among the top stars.

Isha's last big film was Shah Rukh Khan's Don; even former mentor Ram Gopal Varma's Darling did not do much for her.

Will Hello Darling prove lucky for Isha?
