Sriya Reddy’s second innings

Actor Sriya Reddy, whose performances in films including Thimiru and Kanchivaram are still talked about, is back in Kollywood with the film Andava Kanom, being produced by JSK Film Corporation.

She had a taken a break from acting after her marriage to Vikram Krishna, actor Vishal’s brother.

The film’s producer, J. Sathish Kumar, explains that the film, as its title suggests, is about a search for a missing utensil (

anda ), which leads to a big fight in the village where the movie is set.

“The girl is attached to the

anda and when it goes missing, all hell breaks loose. The film is a laughter riot but has an underlying message. The story is set in a village that is far away from other human habitations. In the midst of the all the hullabaloo, a romance too happens,” he says.

Around 50 per cent of the movie has been shot, and it is expected to be wrapped up by mid-October.

Actor Sriya said that though after

Kanjivaram she did get offers in films, they were not of substance. “I didn’t want to known as a sexy actor. I wanted my ten minutes that will make the viewers say now that’s an actor. I returned to acting because of

Andava Kanom . It was my husband and brother-in-law who heard the story first, and when I was hesitating to take the offer they said I should take it.”

Sriya is already looking at other scripts and hopes to work on a film that is based on sports.
