shriya explains her role

Get ready to have Shriya rolling you in the aisles with laughter – that is what the star feels she is confident of doing with her Hollywood debut, The Other End of the Line. Shriya’s career has skyrocketed with offers pouring in from all the other woods –from Bollywood to Hollywood. Her next Kollywood movie, Kanthaswamy with Vikram is eagerly awaited, as are the roles she will do for internationally acclaimed filmmakers, Deepa Mehta and Meera Nair.

Talking of her role in The Other End of the Line, Shriya said it was a romantic comedy set in Mumbai and San Francisco. She plays a call centre employee who falls in love with an American on the phone. The American, thinking she lives in the States, asks to meet her. What is she to do? Confess to him that she lives in Mumbai or fly to Frisco to meet him and continue the deception? Shriya went on to say that her fans have so far seen her dance and cry and do romantic roles but this will be the first time they’ll see Shriya the comedian! Apparently, a lot of the places that are meant to be Frisco were actually shot in Mumbai itself. The movie will probably release around June or July.
