Cochin, May.11 (NR): Manisha Koirala, the beauty from Nepal who had ruled over Bollywood for several years is amazed at the adulation that she receives from the people of Kerala.

Manisha who is currently in Kochi, shooting for Shyamaprasad's film 'Electra' sounds all excited about the project.

In a tete-e-tete with a prominent English daily, she says that she has always adored Shyamaprasad's films. Malayalam as a language is quite tough, but with the director guiding her, she's enjoying every bit of her Kerala stint.

Manisha who plays Nayantara's mom in the film says that she has no qualms doing so. She had played mother to ten year old kids way back in 'Bombay', and what matters to her is the depth and scope of her character.

And she assures us that her role in 'Electra' is quite different. It has lots of grey, and though she plays wife to Prakash Raj, she is a mysterious character who almost leads a secret life.

On the personal front, Manisha is getting ready for her marriage with Samrat Dahlal, a business man based in Nepal.
