Kollywood's 'numero uno' heroine, Anushka popularly known among friends as Sweety is celebrating her birthday (November 7) today.
She has enough reasons to host a big bash, as she has become the most sought after actress in Tamil cinema, quietly replacing Nayanthara at the top.
However, the recluse actress, will be holding a very private party at home in Hyderabad. Telugu cinema still remains her first love, though of late box-office wise she is hotter in Tamil.
Today Tamil cinema revolves around her and all top stars are requesting her for her dates. Sweety however remains elusive and will work with only stars who are on the same wave length with her.
At the moment Anushka is doing three Tamil projects. She has an untitled film with Karthi, directed by Suraj, Vikram's next film titled Thaandavam with Vijay and Selvaraghavan's untitled film with Arya.
On the 'Tatkal waiting list' is Hari's next, two heroine movie with Suriya, and probably Ajith's forthcoming film for producer AM Ratnam.
For the first time top hero's in Tamil are juggling and adjusting their dates to suit Anushka's ! Karthi has pushed his Saguni which was due in December, as Anushka had given him dates from November 10 for his Suraj film.
Vijay and Vikram are pushing all their commitments and getting ready to shoot in US as Anushka's call sheet cannot be wasted from December end. Selvaraghavan is making his final script ready before he starts shooting with Sweety in January!
Today, Anushka is the highest paid heroine in Tamil cinema. She gets a whopping salary of Rs 1.25 Crore ! The actress is booked till the end of 2012, and has no plans to sign more films in Tamil. She has also to squeeze in her "favourites" in Telugu and also keep some dates freefor a Bollywood project with a big hero.
What makes her tick in Kollywood ? She proved her mettle as an actress of substance with her superb performance as the lawyer Anuradha in Vijay directed Deivathirumagal. Vettaikaran and Singam where she played the glam girl heroine have been huge hits.
Sweety is a complete professional and is hassle free keeps a low profile and sticks to her commitments. No doubt she is in great demand.
We at TAMILKEY wish Anushka a sweet and memorable birthday…
