Pinky Savika's journey from Thailand to Tollywood

Pinky Savika, the new entrant in Tollywood, has been the talk of the town for the last few days. The Thai star, who made her debut with 'Emo Gur-ram Egaravachu', is in the city to promote the film.

“I am a singer and actress in Thailand. I started my film career when I was eight years old,” says Pinky, who has a huge fan following in Thailand.

Chandra Siddharth, the director of Emo… had approached one of Pinky’s producers for the film. “They sent me the script and I liked it. I wanted to take a chance to see  Indian culture and tradition. So I decided to do the film,” says Pinky, who had earlier done a Tamil film.

“When I started shooting, the language, culture and even people were new. But I learnt a lot from them.” And she has already been  approached for more Tel-ugu and Hindi projects. “I can’t remember for which film or with which actor. I am interested in doing more Telugu films, but first I have to complete my work back home,” she adds.

Talking about the differences between the two industries, Pinky says, “There are songs and dances here about which I am excited.”

Pinky recently met Shruti Haasan and Rana Daggubati at a restaurant and the first thing she told Rana was “You are the ex-boyfriend of Bipasha Basu”. The actor laughed and said “no” and asked her how she knew about it. “On the Internet,” Pinky said.

She adds that she is a big fan of Rana. About Shruti Haasan, she says, “She is very gorgeous,” and adds that she reads all the film gossips and rumours.
The other T-town actors Pinky knows are Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan. “I have watched Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri,” she says.
