She’s the girl of the moment-Genelia D”Souza, who is a super star in Andhra Pradesh-”they actually write scripts for me here,” she says modestly, and has Bollywood backing her every move now. Post Aamir Khan’s home production, Jaane Tuu……. this 20 something actress is inundated with movie offers. Presently shooting in Hyderabad for a Telugu thriller, Genelia is majorly excited about having signed Ken Ghosh’s Yahoo, in which she plays a choreogapher.
” Its my first film with Shahid Kapoor, who is a phenomenal dancer, and I’m nervous as hell at the thought of dancing with him,” she says. The Mumbai girl says she did hear that Jiah Khan was earlier to play her role but adds, “I accepted the role because its challenging for me as an actor also. Also, I share a god rapport with the film corporation who is producing the movie. ” Genelia says the by the end of this year, she will be virtually breathless, because she has Boney Kapoor’s Its My Life, Abbas Mastan’s Life Partners and Hook Ya Krook with John Abharam coming up.
“Fortunately for me, each of my roles are different from one another,” says the actress. While she is eager for a sequel to Jaane Tuu… she is also happy that film makers in Andhra where she is invariably the protagonist-keep finding her roles where she can push the envelope. ” But for now, I am happy to be in Bollywood,” she beams.
