Young actress Hansika Motwani is planning to make a comeback to Tollywood with her upcoming release ‘My Name is Shruthi’ which revolves around organ mafia and being directed by Omkar Srinivas. “She is looking to mark her presence in Telugu films after a gap,” says a source and adds, “This film was launched almost two years ago and Hansika pinned high hopes on this female-centric thriller,” he adds.
Actually, Hansika made her debut in Telugu with blockbuster ‘Desamuduru’ opposite Allu Arjun and went on to share screen space with stars like Jr NTR (Kantri), Ram Pothineni (Kandireega) and vishnu Manchu (Denikaina Ready. She also grooved to a special dance number with Prabhas in ‘Billa’.
“She also acted with Kalyan Ram in ‘Jayeebhava’ and Siddharth in ‘Oh My Friend,’ but she couldn’t reach the top league,” he adds. Many big Telugu stars were a bit apprehensive to play her love interest on screen. “The child artist-turned-actress arrived on the big screen at much younger age and had a tough time bagging offers with top heroes who were conscious about age disparity,” he points out.
Later, she moved to Kollywood and did films with stars like Dhanush, Jayam Ravi and Suriya and essayed meaty roles in Tamil film industry. “Tamil filmmakers were able to exploit her good looks and talent and she had a fruitful stint in Kollywood. Now, she is hoping to return to Telugu films and showcase her versatility, but a lot depends on the success of ‘My Name is Shruthi,” he concludes.
