Minissha Lamba, JD Chakravarthy in Contract

A few days ago Minissha Lamba was back in a bikini on the cover of a men's mag, two years after she posed on Maxim's cover in an itsy bitsy bikini. She's back in the news again, this time for her debut down South in Telugu film Contract. Here's the first look from the film.

JD Chakravarthy and Arjun Sarja will be seen in Contract opposite Minissha.

Contract revolves around a love triangle.

Action and daring stunts pep the film.

The film has been reportedly made on a budget of Rs 15 crore. However, the actual number is likely to increase before the release.

Produced and directed by SS Sameer, Contract is among this year's eagerly-awaited Telugu movies.

With Contract JD Chakravarthi is back in action flicks.

JD had taken a break from acting to concentrate on directing films.

In the initial stages, there were strong rumors that Mallika Sherawat be cast in the film as well. But the Hisss bombshell later denied it.

The makers of the film apparently had Anushka Sharma in mind for Minissha's role.

Minissha stepped in when things did not work out with Anushka Sharma.

Subhash, Vishwas have scored the music for the film and Johny Lal is the cinematographer.

Other prominent actors in the film include Brahmanandam, Pradeep Rawat and Ali.

Minissha will be seen in a saree for most parts of the film, quite unusual for her!
