I feel, I'm in the debut phase of my life because I'm heading for my Telugu & Kannada debut's this year! Hopefully .. I will find opportunity to do Tamil , Malyalam and
Bollywood at the right time as well.
Feel's privileged to cross the barriers of language to reach to the regional movie audiences...what more can an actor wish for!
What is Priyudu about?
Priyudu is a college based rom-com. It's a fun-filled campus love-story with a lot of comedy and lovely songs. I play the role of Madhu who falls in love with Karthik, enacted by Varun. And it's all about them discovering the meaning of love!
The story reminds us that love brings in a lot of happiness in our life and at the same time a lot of emotions, which include pain too. The emotional bond which my character Madhu shares with her dad... is also very beautifully depicted by director Sravan.
In Priyudu, my character will be seen wearing trendy Kurti's throughout the film but dressed in smart looking short skirts in the songs. It's a beautiful balance between the girl next door who has her values in place but can also look smart and glamorous. I have two solo songs in Priyudu and three more with Varun, picturised in exotic locations.
PRIYUDU Movie Stills - Starring Varun Sandesh and Preetika Rao (7)Do you have any Funny memories?
For some strange reason director Sravan and his team were under the impression that I cannot dance! So they were really nervous because our film has very good
songs composed by debutant music director Mohan Jona. Though I was confident about my dancing skills...I didn't let the director know because I didn't know how high his expectations were!
On the day of the song shoot, when I started dancing....the whole unit was taken a back and was totally surprised at my dancing skills.
Now that we have shot all the songs... the director is really thrilled with the outcome.
So Tell Us How did Priyudu Happen?
Debutant Director Sravan saw my pictures on the cover of a magazine and enquired about me, and I met him in Hyderabad. He had rejected 600 girls I'm
told before he selected me for Priyudu as the girl's role has equal footing with the hero.
Amrita Rao's sister Preetika insists on calling fitness her 'morning-mantra'
Now not many may know, but you are the sister of Bollywood Star Amrita Rao. Tell us about her support in this for you:
Well..being Amrita's sister I have learnt a lot about the film industry through her experience. What to expect out of the industry and what not to. And if I am ever in doubt, Amrita is always there to sort me out.
Journalism taught me about media and made me a writer, modeling helped me to be more camera friendly, acting is now teaching me to discover myself as an artist and I would now like to explore the art more and discover my own inner hidden talents and not get type-casted with one particular type of role I play. I would like to be remembered as a versatile actress ...

Tell us about your onscreen chemistry with Varun Sandesh:
My on-screen chemistry with Varun Sandesh reminds me of my elder sister Amrita Rao's onscreen chemistry with Shahid Kapoor, especially in their campus blockbuster love story Ishq Vishk.
I love Varun's style of acting, it's effortless and I find it extremely easy to work with him during shots.

The way Shah Rukh gracefully slips into the roles of Shekhar, Ra.One and G-One, leaving no room for confusion, is remarkable.
He is the superhero of the film. That's because the script was skillfully and convincingly put together by Anubhav Sinha, Kanika Dhillon, Mushtaq Sheikh and David Benullo. The dialogues by Kanika and Niranjan Iyengar are good in parts.
The little gimmicks by Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra and Rajnikant add to the lighter moments of the film but take the story nowhere.
Shahana Goswami as the employee at the electronic company and Arjun Rampal as Ra.One look fine for the roles they play but have very little to deliver. Armaan as Pratiek is impressive.
The outfits of Ra.One and G-One designed by Robert Kurtzman and the bright production design are worth a mention.
Vishal-Shekhar's music and the background score along with the awesome stunts and thrilling chases are electrifying. The film would not have been what it is if it was not for Resul Pookutty's sound design, Sanjay Sharma's editing and for the visual and special effects team.
With all the minor blemishes, this movie is still worth seeing at least once.
This high energetic film is loaded with antics, animation and action. With many thrilling sequences mounted with grandeur, it gives you the feel of a live video game. It is probably one of the classiest movies seen in the Hindi film industry and a feather in Anubhav's hat.
