'Nobody recommended me'
Her Bollywood debut Raavan with ManiRatnam hasn't yet released but Priyamani has already bagged her second B-Town project-- Ram Gopal Varma's Rakta Charitra Part II. The actress, however,is currently not able to reveal much about her role as she's under contract not to divulge any detils about it. And while Priyamni's elated to have landed in the prestigious Raktha Charitra, she's not entirely sure how RGV chose her for the film. "It all started while Puri Jagannath, Jagapathi Babu and RGV were having an interactin and my name popped up. "says Priya, immediately adding, "Nobody recommended me for this film.RGV also mentioned that he'd watched Paruthiveeran and told me I was great in the film, " she says.
Incidentally, Priya will be paired opposite Paruthiveeran star Karthi's brother Suriya in Raktha Charitra. "I wouldn't call Suriya a method actor, he's a chilled out person. Perhaps I can talk more about him once I get more involved in the film, " she says.
Not many know that Priya had a shot at winning a second National Award. "Even I found out about that just a week ago. This is for a Malayalam film titled Thirakkatha.The producer of the film told me that I would have won the award if U had dubbed for it, which I couldn't do as I was tied up with other projects, " she reveals.
