If I don't get offers, I am happy to take a break: Saloni Aswani
Saloni Aswani, the female lead in Rajamouli’s Maryada Ramanna, is all set to make a comeback after a gap of two years. The actress was last seen in the Allu Arjun starrer Race Gurram and is now coming up with Meelo Evaru Koteeswarudu, where she is paired opposite actor-comedian Prudhvi. “My character’s name is Samantha and Prudhvi’s name is Mahesh Babu. So, you can imagine how our track is going to be. We are playing one of the lead pairs and appear in the second half. We are not connected to the main lead actors, but we help them fall in love and develop their love story,” says Saloni.
The actress says that she is not completely out of the industry as she is getting offers. “I get offers every week, but most of them are horror comedies, item songs or sex comedies, which I cannot do justice to. Only if I feel that I can play the roles that I am offered well, do I take up the films. I am not in a hurry to sign a film to keep in touch with the industry. If I don’t get offers, I am happy to take a break,” she says.
Saloni reveals that she and Prudhvi are playing college going students and have a song together. “The dialogues are quite hilarious and a lot of the songs are from the films of stars like Chiranjeevi, Mahesh Babu and Balakrishna. The concept of this film is completely different from a regular film, and that is the reason why I accepted it,” says the actress. Saloni says that she has already done a Kannada film and also signed a Hindi film, which is yet to start.
“I am getting a lot of special song offers, but if I do it once, they will approach me for only those. I hope I am busy next year,” she says. Explaining why she signed a film opposite a comedian, Saloni says, “I heard in Mumbai that he is a big comedian here. But more than that, I like the character.” The actress says that she follows a healthy diet, meditation and works out even while on breaks. “Fitness is the main thing on my agenda, so I strictly follow these three when I am at home,” she reveals.
