Ironically ‘Jhummandhi Nadham’ completes its 50 days and the posters have been on walls after release. The posters are supposed to be designed and printed by producers.

So far, I mostly looked like the girl next door in my films. For the first time, I donned a variety role in Don Seenu, displaying the arrogance and over self confidence that would go with a modern and glamorous heroine.”

On saying about the gap she took in tollywood, the actress clarifies that time factor was not the criterion; people would judge only the success rate of an artiste. She adds “Now after Don Seenu, it is for the heroes here to decide. If they say they would not act if Shriya is not their heroine, then I would there in all films.” Shriya further adds “I would never give up my forte for special songs. Currently, I did one song in Komaram Puli. How can I resist the temptation with such a roaring combination of AR Rahman and Pawan Kalyan?”
