"Even if I play a small role in a movie, the movie should succeed. I acted in a small role along side Shahrukh Khan in Dilwale Dulhaniya... and it succeeded. I cherish success a lot", she says.

"If you want to survive in the film industry, you should be willing to play glamorous roles. I'm under compulsion to make it big in the industry. So, I'm ready to do anything to become successful here. But, please don't make it think that my character is loose," Shirley said.
"Acting is different and life is different. I know how to protect myself," she issued a subtle warning.

Prashanth wants to do it alone
Prashanth is a romantic hero in Kollywood who had acted with top heroines including Aishwarya Rai and a half-a-dozen others from Bollywood.
His chocolate-box hero image always demands a glamorous heroine.
So for him to do a film sans a heroine, there must be a compelling and convincing reason.
And he says there is one for Adaikalam in which he is a heroine-less hero.
The film's script is just too good, he says. "It is all about brother-sister relationship," he adds. Uma,of Kadal Pookal fame, plays his sister.
He says the story is touching and inspirational that his father, Thiagarajan, who had decided not to act with him anymore, was forced to reconsider his decision.
"My father and I had a heavy heart after listening to the story," he says.
So Prashanth's solo flight is expecting a safe landing.

In the film where the story takes center space, the additional attraction is a glamour song. It takes too to make dream song. Hero danush is ready, his 'wet' dream glamour doll was not to be found so easily. Because the director Balu Mahendra's tastes are bit different us his camera work. The girl should be 'Slim and Simple'. So the search began.
The Balu Mahendra's first choice was Ria sen. But she was busy in Bollywood. Then Rangeela Urmila was considered. She was also busy. This was followed by, 'Katpane' Isha Gopikar, 'Chellamay' Reema Sen, 'Murder' Mallika Sherawath, 'Girl friend' Amritha Arora.. But nobody was able to accept because of their prior commitment. So they could not give their call sheet.
Then the producer came with the name of Malavika. But again Balumahendra shot down that suggestion, because she is too rounded to suit the taste of the director.
The only Teja sri hit the Jackpot.
She had already given her CD to Balumahendra asking for a chance. Balumahendra happened to see the CD, and then he zeroed in on Teja Sri. Because she just fitted the description of director's dream girl.
This Danush-Teja pairs song in 'Adhu Oru Kanakkalam' will beat the 'Moondrampirai' song 'Ponmeni Uruguthey'.
'Adhu Oru Kanakkalam' is definitely going to affect the sleep of youngsters!

"Rajini and I were working on 'Jakkubhai'. The first half of the film had come out very well. But, when we were discussing the second half, we realized that it wouldn't be nice to try out to same old formula. We were wondering how to end the story differently. That was when he was very impressed by P Vasu's story," director KS Ravikumar said.
"I sure am upset that I lost the film. But he is more upset than I am. He told me that he wouldn't feel better until I sign up another film. Fact is- these days, I'm the one who is consoling him. I have now signed up a film with Ajith. I'm going to release the new film on the same day that Rajini releases his 'Chandramukhi'," he said.
