Sindhu Menon becomes International Actress!

Impressive Face, Expressive Eyes and Charming Smile that is Sindhu Menon! Perfect anatomy and Next Door Girl look is her added plus points. Sindhu is only 24 years old! (born on 17 June 1985). But her matured look makes her best suited for homely roles rather than glamour roles. Could you believe if I say this Mallu girl is acting in 2 Hollywood movies at present? While Size Zeros or Sexy Babes are starving for such opportunity how this homely beauty got the opportunity?

Sindhu Menon was born in Bangalore in a Malayali family. She debuted as a child artist in Kannada film ‘Rashmi’ (1994) and emerged as heroine at the age of 13 with ‘Prema Prema Prema’ (1999) followed by many films in all the four South Indian languages. Though she acted in 3 Tamil films earlier viz. Samuthiram, Kadal Pookkal and Youth, her performance in ‘Eeram’ won her rave reviews and she became popular among Tamil audience. Presently she has 2 Kannada, 2 Telugu and 2 Tamil films in her kitty apart from the 2 Hollywood movies. Now, let us see how she got the Hollywood opportunity and the allied stories in detail.

Sindhu says she bagged the Hollywood opportunities entirely by chance. She says “I was surprised when I got this offer as no one on the team had seen any of my films. They just read an interview of mine and liked my picture. That’s how I got this film. This Hollywood project was offered to me in 2007, for which the script work came through in October. I also have another English film in the pipeline, which will be launched in July and will go on the floors in October”.

The first film is a Brad Peter directorial about an Indian girl who falls in love with an Englishman. “What’s special about this film is that they show how the man is ready to do anything for the girl. I just finished the first 15 days of filming and it’s gone off brilliantly,” she reveals. Sindhu is shuttling between the UK and the US for the yet-to-be-titled Brad Peter film. She says she has to change her physique for her role in second film. “I’m on a weight gain programme for the next two months. They want me to be chubby. After that, I have to get back to working out,” says Sindhu.

Though Sindhu says she bagged the Hollywood opportunities entirely by chance, you know very well how Mallu girls grab opportunities because even if you go to Space, you can find a Nair there asking you “Sir, Chaayaa?”
