While Sivaji is the reigning boss of the country, one person who has reaped the most mileage from the film is Shriya. She has been virtually on the sidelines in both Tamil and Telugu. But with the resounding success of Sivaji, she is glowing in all the attention. Literally. Producers from the Tamil film industry are queuing up before her house for callsheets. And, we hear, it's not just one, but a lot many of them. So much so that she has a chance to pick and choose not only the films, but also the heroes she wants to work with. Part of the credit for her demand goes to the new look Shankar gave her in Sivaji. She was at her ravishing best, we must say. And quite bubbly too to command a following among the filmmakers.
What more, her debut film in Bollywood, Awarapan, which was released last Friday, has been receiving rave reviews. And this is like a double bonanza for her. Says the actress who is on cloud nine. "I accepted Awarapan because I was convinced of its strong storyline, the director and the reputed production house. They have a history of making sensitive films that have become hits. Their female characters are well etched. After the success of my films in the South, I needed a film that could parallel my position there. I think I have made the right decision".
Even before Awarapan has been released, she has been booked opposite Bobby Deol in Sangeet Sivan's Ek -The Power of One . Besides, she has two films lined up in Tamil with the reigning superstars Vikram and Vijay.
We also hear that some of the Tollywood filmmakers are planninig to cast her.
It surely makes a whole lot of difference to a heroine when she acts in a Rajnikanth film. Make the most of it Shriya. You deserve it.
