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.

Amisha PatelSoon 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.
