Priya Prakash Varrier became an overnight national sensation with just a wink. She came into the spotlight in a wink as it were, with her video song ‘Manikya Poovi’ from her debut film ‘Oru Adaar Love’ going viral on the Internet. That led to a flood of movie offers from Bollywood too.
But, as the saying goes in Kollywood, you have never made it in films until you have done one in Tamil for the masses who make one of Indian cinema's unique audiences also since they also tend to make their favourite film stars into Netas.
An offer for a Tamil film was never far for the young actress. We now hear that she is all set to make her K'town entry soon.
Priya will be sharing screen space with none other than the popular star Suriya for a film helmed by KV Anand with music by Harris Jayaraj. The film is to be bankrolled by Lyca Productions.
This will be the third time Anand will be joining hands with Suriya after earlier collaborations in Ayan and Maattran. Gavemic U Ary will be behind the camera and Pattukottai Prabhakar will be doing dialogues. The story is set in India and travels to multiple locations abroad, including New York and Brazil.
A source close to the production house, however, pours a bit of cold water on the hot news saying there is no such move and that Anand is busy right now finalising the script. Being a perfectionist, everyone knows that KV would not start the casting process before getting the bound script in his hands, the source adds. We are, however, told that Priya could be high on the list of actresses for the casting.
Presently, Suriya is busy with Selvaraghavan film NGK where he has Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet as his heroines. As a star highly popular with the youth of Tamil Nadu, Suriya might just be the face that launches Priya to stardom in Kollywood just as one wink can be said to have launched a thousand opportunities for the young actress from Kerala. Watch this space for further debvelopments on the life and career of the first great Internet sensation star of Indian cinema.
