Mumbai: If you're wondering where Bollywood's bad girls have disappeared, then don't worry too much. There's a whole new line up of heroines with a negative shade.

For starters, look out for Ram Gopal Varma's new muse Sakshi Gulati, who's part of the underworld in Contract'. But would a role RGV's gritty look at the underworld terrorist nexus mean sacrificing her glam quotient?

"Not really, because I have got lot of scope to perform in the film and the oomph factor is still there even though I am playing a character which has got shades of grey in between a swell. But I have my oomph factor. I am very stylishly dressed in the film. It's not like I have a performance-based role so I have to be shabbily dressed or be covered or something," says she.

Meanwhile, Isha Kopikkar will be introduced minus the pancake in Shabri, based on the life of a female criminal kingpin.

On the other hand girl next door Diya Mirza glams up to play a meanie in Sanjay Gupta's Acid Factory. And Diya's image make-over has been carefully crafted by designers Shantanu and Nikhil.

"This time, the whole concept is that of giving her a Lara Croft kind of look. The movie is a very cutting edge, a very dark thrillar. She plays a very sensuous girl who has a little bit of a grey side to her. She has quite a grey side to her thinking and when you think evil, there are no colours better than black and red," says designer Shantanu.

And Diya's make-over isn't limited to her look. The lady will also be flexing her muscles to match up to big screen's bad boys.

"Ever since i started working in the Hindi film industry, there has always been a prototype attached to me. Whoever thinks of casting me they cast me as the girl next door - the sweet, simple and beautiful Diya. I would like to thank Sanjay Gupta in trusting me with this," says she.

Now here's one lot who we hope will still look good while playing bad.
