MUMBAI: She made a dream debut in Bollywood opposite Hrithik Roshan with Kaho Na Pyar Hai. After an initial series of hits, Patel was unable to achieve much success in her career.  However, the 38 year old lass, who has a gold medal in Economics from the Tufts University, has not given up and is set for the release of her debut production.

The teaser of Patel’s Desi Magic released this week and it features the bubby heroine in the lead role paired opposite Zayed Khan and Sahil Shroff. Directed by Mehul Atha, Desi Magic is the first film from Ameesha Patel productions.

Patel plays a double role - Sonia and Mahi. While Sonia is a glamorous modern girl who loves partying, Mahi is a traditional desi belle from Punjab. Both just have one thing in common - commitment phobia. The music of the film has been composed by DJ Aqeel who also makes his debut as a music director with this film.

With heroine-centric films like Queen and Mary Kom fetching accolades recently, it remains to be seen if Patel is able to create any magic with Desi Magic.
