Shriya Saran's bold act in Pavitra

Shriya Saran is looking for interesting scripts and challenging roles and different ones too, going by her last few films. In her forthcoming film Pavitra, directed by Janardhan Maharishi, she has taken on a brave and different role.

Shriya plays a sex worker in this heroine-centric film. Roja, Tanikella Bharani, Saikumar and Kaushik Babu are also part of the film.

The film is scripted by Janardhan Maharishi, produced by G Maheshwar Reddy and K Sadhak Kumar. M M Srilekha scores the music for Pavitra.

The film is slated to release in May.

Isha Talwar is the latest Mumbai girl to step into the Telugu industry. She was an integral part of the Nithiin-Nithya Menen starrer Gunde Jaari Gallanthayinde (GJG) which is a runaway hit.

Her first Malayalam film was Vineeth Srinivasan's Thattathin Marayathu, which turned out to be a blockbuster. She followed it up with another Malayalam film, I Love me.

As a child artiste, she played Aishwarya Rai's sister in the Hindi film Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai, which was a remake of the Telugu film Pelli Chesukundam.

Her first Telugu film, GJG has sent the cash registers ringing. "I'm very happy that GJG is a hit. Nithiin is a humble, caring person and a good co-star to work with," she said.
