Telugu film industry gets a new face on the board

The Telugu film industry, which is known to be packed with model-turned-actresses from Mumbai, has found a lady this time with a different background. Priya is a Telugu girl from Hyderabad who completed her graduation in fashion designing and after a short spell of modelling she decided to make a career in acting. Priya has been roped in to play an "important character role" in Ram's next, Pandaga Chesko.

Last year Priya made her debut with a character role in Yuvanayakudu. She said, "I've always dreamt of becoming an actress.” She is busy getting ready for her first lead role ever in a film called Heart Beat. She wasn’t even required to attend any audition for the movie. Priya, who dreams to make it big in Tamil and Hindi movies too, added, "The makers of the movie saw my debut film and were impressed with my performance. It's a woman centric film and has elements of romance, suspense and drama weaved in. I play an independent young girl, Sneha in the movie. It's a very bubbly, girl-next-door character that drives the movie.” We wish all luck to this young aspiring actress.
