Anushka pairs Lawrence in Kanchana

Luscious Beauty Anushka was utilized as a glam doll alone till her blockbuster movie Arundhati. Her role as Jejamma in the royal attires and her superb performance changed her fate. From thereon, she started getting offers for heroine-centric flicks.

After the flop of her debut Tamil movie, Rendu in 2006, Anushka concentrated in Telugu movies alone. After the super-duper hit of Arundhati and its Tamil dubbed version, she became popular among Kollywood audience too and the most sought-after heroine in the Southern cine circuit. Though Anushka’s height factor poses problem to our Kollywood heroes, her tantalizing beauty persuades every hero to pair her at least in one film.

Anushka was fortunate to get a grand opening for her re-entry in Tamil through ‘Vettaikkaran’. Though her character in Vettaikkaran did not challenge her acting prowess, she titillated the audience by appearing in skimpy wet clothes in song sequences. Her role in the latest film ‘Singam’ was not just a glamour doll but with substance.

Keeping in view of her image and talent, producers and directors are designing special characters especially for Anushka. Choreographer-turned-actor-turned-director Raghava Lawrence is now directing a bilingual film titled ‘Kanchana’, a sequel of his first directorial venture in Tamil ‘Muni’. While Lawrence is playing the male lead, Anushka and Lakshmi Rai are the two female leads. Though there are two heroines in the film, it seems Anushka would be portraying a very powerful character and her role in the film is not yet revealed and kept secretly by Lawrence.

With the intention to create a strong base for her in Tamil cinema after her successful re-entry, Anushka seems to be very choosy in signing films in Tamil. This versatile actress has cleverly chosen her next Tamil project with successful director Raghava Lawrence, who is also a multi-talented person. Anushka knows “After hard work, the biggest determinant of one’s fortune is being in the right place at the right time.”
