SHINING ON Sameera Reddy
Sameera Reddy has reasons to celebrate. First, it was the box office success of Ashok and Taxi No 9211. And now, the grapevine is abuzz that Buddhadeb Dasgupta's Kalpurush, also starring Rahul Bose and Mithun Chakraborty, is likely to bag the National Award for the Best Film. "This was the best news. It feels amazing especially after sincere effort from the entire team. We all worked very hard. Buddhadeb is a great director and I knew something like this would happen," says the actress.
But wasn't Kalpurush shades different, read less heavy on the glam quotient, when compared to her diva do in Musafir? "You tend to get typecast or relegated to a slot. Therefore I have always tried to choose various kinds of roles. Kalpurush offered the right platform to do a different role." She adds, "This has been a good year for me with hits all the way."
Equally elated about her forthcoming Naksha, the actress says, "This has been a different genre again. There was adventure, action and drama." Sameera has definitely come a long way from her debut with Sohail Khan in Maine Dil Tujhko Diya. Talk of a mixed bag of Telugu, Hindi and now Bengali films in her kitty. "I am doing Buddhadeb's next film," she says. But Telugu cinema remains close to her heart.
"There is an audience for me there and my association with the films is more a matter of pride for my family. Doing a Telugu film is sentimentally a big thing for me," she adds.
