Shriya Updates


We all have 24 hours for a day but looking at the number of films Shriya is acting in, looks like 48 hours for a day is not enough.

In Tamil, she has 'Kandasamy,' 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' and a new film with Ajith. She has 2 films in Telugu. Her Hindi films include 'Ek' with Bobby Deol, 'Mission Istanbul' with Abhishek Bachchan. There's also the Hollywood film and a song with Vadivelu.

Shriya's list does not end here. For many months Simbu's 'Silambattam' has been gathering dust and the project is being revived again. Saravanan turns director with this film. There was great speculation earlier about whether Simbu would be acting in this film.

Now it has been confirmed that he is. They have approached Shriya to do the heroine role and it seems as soon as she heard that her quote was agreeable, she immediately okayed without even hearing the story.

Simbu has first complete 'Kaalai' and then 'Kettavan.' It would be hardly surprising if Shriya has by then become a Hollywood dream girl!


It is not enough to have talent alone. One also needs a lot of luck. Lingusamy's'Ji' and now'Bhima' are having inordinate delays for getting released.

But Lingusamy is busy getting his next script ready. The news about this are varied. One is, he is to direct Chiranjeevi's son Ramcharan Teja. The other is, the hero is Karthi of'Paruthiveeran' fame.

The smart Lingusamy has made both news come true. The Tamil film produced by his company Tirupathi Brothers has Karthi as hero. He is directing the same film in Telugu at the same time and Ramcharan Teja is the hero in that. Two mangoes with one stone!

The Telugu film could be produced by Tirupathi Raja. After Karthi completed his work in'Aayirathil Oruvan,' he will start work in Lingusamy's film.
