Shriya did not have even a single release in the year 2008. Yet she did not lose heart. She is going all guns blazing this year to turn the tide and ensure that 2009 belongs to her. The actress is shooting for three films in Tamil now and they would release at regular intervals.

Dhanush and Shriya Saran are shooting for a film titled 'Kutty', the Tamil remake of the Telugu hit 'Arya'. She has also completed shooting for 'Jaggubhai', which she hopes would take her to greater heights.

In 'Kutty', she plays a deglamourized role while in 'Jaggubhai', she plays a trendy daughter. In the Vishal starrer 'Thoranai' she plays a typical Tamil film heroine.

Meanwhile, the actress is eagerly awaiting the release of 'Kandhasamy' in which she has paired with Vikram. This film has come out with such sophistication and style that it could create a trend of sorts in the Tamil film industry. Shriya obviously is upbeat about the prospects of the film at the box office. Directed by Susi Ganesan, 'Kandhasamy' will release this May.
