Shriya - Success from Shivaji to Mission Istanbul

Shriya is currently one of the hottest young actresses around - wait until you see her appearance in Mission Istanbul. She also made a big impression last year in Shivaji, alongside Rajnikanth.

This Delhi girl has a touch of class and a beautiful smile that would warm any male heart. She is very modest about her performance in Shivaji, "To be honest," she says, "Rajini sir's heroines can piggy-back ride on his popularity. Thanks to him, I got so much attention and respect from the masses and the industry."

Shriya is multilingual and is currently doing two English movies - The Other End of the Line with Desperate Housewives' Jesse Metcalf and the Deepa Mehta directed What's Cooking. About the Jesse Metcalf movie, she says, "I play a call center girl in Mumbai who goes to San Francisco in search of my love played by the obnoxiously handsome Jesse Metcalfe in The Other End of the Line. I had great fun doing the film!"

It's rumoured that Shriya, who has just finished the much-anticipated Mission Istanbul, has been picked by Kamal Hassan for his next big movie Marmayogi, which will also have an English-language version.
