Priya Anand, who was missing in action for a while is back to K’town with Muthuramalingam starring Gautham Karthik. Now, we hear that the Vai Raja Vai girl settled the hotel bills for the team of Muthuramalingam while they wrapped up their shoot at Kutralam, when the filmmakers failed to do so. Priya, who was leaving for Australia for her Kannada debut film Rajakumara’s shoot, was hesitant to talk about the incident when we contacted her. But the actress seemed excited about foraying into other south languages including the Malayalam movie titled Ezra.
“I am teaming up with Prithiviraj for my first horror movie in Malayalam. I got several heroine-centric offers for the horror genre which is ruling the roost in Tamil cinema, but they were all clichéd. At least in Mollywood, the horror genre is not overdone, and hence I gladly accepted. I am also learning the language to dub for myself,” she said.
On her Kannada debut, Priya added, “It is a fabulous subject. I am playing a salsa dancer, and am teaming up with Puneet Rajkumar. Santhosh directs the movie, which is a family subject. I play a modern-day Indian girl, who is bold and independent.” Sources add that she has a dual dimensional role in the film, for which she hopes to learn the language soon!
