Svelte actress Shriya was expected to create a whirlwind in Kollywood after the big hit 'Sivaji' starring Rajinikanth. But, alas! She for odd reasons decided to test waters in Bollywood and as if it isn't enough, she ventured into Hollywood, the same year. Despite the prayers of her fans, she faced a debacle with her dream projects.

The big time Bollywood dud 'Mission Istanbul' nearly erased Shriya's name from their records while Asin soared to unexpected fame with the blockbuster 'Ghajini'. Shriya's role of a call center employee in 'The Other End of the Line' didn't do her any good either. The flick went off without a trace in the Hollywood market. Now, she is back to the pavilion betting high hopes against her Kollywood ventures 'Kanthaswamy' with Vikram and Vishal's 'Thoranai'. She is determined to regain her fame in Tamil cinema and has taken the first step.

Rumors are abuzz stating that Shriya has replaced Genelia and will be pairing up with Arya, in the untitled film to be directed by Manikandan, a former associate of cinematographer - director Jeeva. Preethi Rao, sister of Amritha Rao plays the second heroine in the film which will go to the floors soon.
