By this evening it will be known which way is her career is headed.

For the gamine Charmi, Mass (Dammunte Kasko) is a major test case. Sharing frames with Jyothika, the Punjabi lass has to show that she has the staying power. Her forays in both Malayalam and Tamil have not been all that successful.

In that event, Charmi is tensed. But she is also quietly confident. She feels that after the struggle of past years, she is now here to stay. "It has been a tough period. But I think I have survived to tell this tale".

Charmi, in fact, started her career at the callow age of 13 with Nee Thodu Kaavali. She then vanished from Tollywood's radar and she came back with Neeke Mansichchanu. Though Sri Anjaneyam got only a lukewarm response, her biggest break yet is that. "Sri Anjaneyam is my first love. That film gave me the first real big break". She has followed that with Gowry. Though Chanti flopped, she was gain noted for her 'bold' role.

Charmi, like all modern-day heroines, is not afraid to expose. "Glamour does not mean shedding clothes. It is looking sensuous.

Her mind is now on Mass. She has given her best. After Mass she has Chakram opposite Prabhas.

Her career is now a Chakram ---- rolling well and smooth.
