Lakshmi Rai, who is of late busy with films in other south Indian languages, was in Chennai recently for a promotional event. “Chennai is where my heart is”, the actress said, expressing happiness about being back in the city.

“Chennai is very special to me. Some of my best works are in Tamil and I have many friends here. I would visit the city whenever I get time to meet them all. It’s like coming back home”, she said.

The actress, who is doing some much expected Malayalam movies at the moment, has been signed by Venkat Prabhu for Ajith starrer ‘Mankatha’. A couple of Tamil films are also in the pipeline for Lakshmi Rai, it is said.

“My passion is acting. So hardly does it matter whether it is Tamil or Telugu or Malayalam or Kannada. I am open to act in all languages as long as I get challenging roles”, she added.
