Amala denied Prithviraj..

Amala Paul recently got the opportunity to act with Prithviraj in a Malayalam film. The actress was very happy as Malayalam is her mother tongue, and Prithviraj is a huge star.

Unfortunately Amala couldn't accept the offer as the production crew wanted bulk dates from her in July and she had already given those dates for Mupozhudum Un Karpanai with Atharva.

The pretty actress had no choice but to refuse.

She said that since her career in Tamil films is looking good, she intends to stay focused and make Tamil cinema her priority for the moment.

All her forthcoming films are good projects that offer her plenty of scope to perform, so Amala Paul says she is very happy and content.

Amala Paul returns to her roots..

Amala Paul made her debut in a Malayalam film but it was the Tamil film industry that welcomed her with open arms.

Amala will now be seen in two very happening films - Deiva Thirumagal and Vettai with Vikram and Arya respectively. Her Muppozhutham Un Karpanai with Atharva also has her in what is supposed to be a very good role.

Despite being very busy with Tamil films, she could not resist when an offer for a Malayalam film came her way. It is a Renjith film called Indian Rupee and Prithviraj will probably be the male lead.

At the rate that she is going, it won't be surprising if she goes on to capture hearts in the Kannada and Telugu film fraternities as well!

Stratagem to topspot

Amala Paul has had an enviable career that has seen her come within touching distance of the top spot. She says that her stratagem to stay ahead of the curve is very simple. Rather than sign any and all films that come her way out of insecurity or a need to fatten her bank balance, she prefers to pick and choose.

The Myna babe gives due consideration to the weight of her role, the overall story, and the director. Only when these three factors meet her criteria does she go ahead and sign on the dotted line. Amala Paul currently has Deiva Thirumagal with Vikram, Vettai with Maddy, and Mupozhuthum Un Karpanai with Atharva in her kitty.

Shooting with Amala ..

Atharva’s next film with Amala Paul, Muppozhuthum Un Karpanaigal is currently being shot in Chennai. This is the third schedule for the film and director Ganesh Vinayak is very happy with it so far and is particularly pleased with the work of his hero, Atharva, who he says is very talented and hard-working.

The film was delayed as the young actor has had a lot to deal with, following the untimely death of his father, actor Murali but now his portions are being filmed quickly. However, Atharva has been very cooperative and professional and is sure to go places.

The music is by G V Prakash and the buzz is that there are some superb tracks in this movie. A major portion of the film will be shot in Chennai all though some of the song sequences may be shot in Kerala and New York. The director is enthused about his offering and is keeping his fingers crossed.
