TBT: Actress Priya Anand on working with Sridevi in English Vinglish.
For actress Priya Anand, working with legends such as Sridevi and Amitabh Bachchan in her B-town debut has been her biggest achievement so far.
The South star who has acted in movies such as Leader, Vaamanan, 180, Rama Rama Krishna Krishna is currently shooting in Chennai for her latest and first Bollywood movie, English Vinglish.
Priya says that it wasn’t easy for her to do the role and it took around six months of auditioning and hectic calls before she could commit. “I couldn’t commit because of my film 180’s release timing. But, a day prior to the release I got a call from them again. And I came on board,” says the actress.
She says she was star-struck by Sridevi’s presence on the sets. “It was insane! I couldn’t believe I was working with her. She is such a nice and gentle person.” In fact, Boney Kapoor’s presence made her more comfortable. “He is a very nice family man. It was a pleasure meeting him,” she says adding that she is still waiting for her shoot with Big B.
Apart from the plot and director, the presence of Sridevi and Amitabh Bachchan was the deciding factor for Priya to say yes to the film.
With her foray into Bollywood, Priya has joined the likes of south stars Asin, Kajal and Genelia. Will the competition get tougher now?
“Acting is my job. Whether good or bad, the result will be mine. I have no competitors and I am here to stay,” says the actor.
