Shriya Saran in Kollywood

When looking for a hotel, Madras, known as Chennai these days, should come to mind as a place with excellent luxury accommodations.  In a city with an excellent music scene, as well as the heart of South India’s film industry, there is much to see and do.  Inside the hotel, however, you are in for a lovely experience in hospitality and style.  The design is excellent, with a flair for the local and a heavy dose of international tastes.  The service is excellent, and you can depend on top quality any hour of the day.  The people at the desk are very friendly and knowledgeable, and can make recommendations to your particular tastes.

There are excellent sight-seeing opportunities here for the whole family.  There are plenty of sites that are rich in history and culture, architectural landmarks, as well as star-gazing.  Because Madras is the home of the Tamil film industry, or Kollywood, the city is rich in movie culture.  One of Kollywood’s stars who is crossing over into Bollywood and Hollywood is the fascinating and scintillating Shriya Saran. Born September 11, 1982, her native tongue is Hindi, and as her film credits are showing, she has a wonderful ear for languages.  Her entry into entertainment happened when she was a student in Delhi and she was asked to be in a music video.  Her background is dance, which is where she likes to get lost when she is feeling overwhelmed, as well as acting.

Some of her blockbusters have been Tagore and Sivaji, The Boss, where she starred opposite Rajinikanth, as the elusive girl who eventually would become his wife.  She has also appeared in the English What’s Cooking, Stella? and a long list of films in Telugu and Hindi, along with the Tamil films.  This versatile and rather prolific actress has caught the attentions of filmmakers since she began, and she has been working steadily all over the world.  This quirky and philosophical Shriya lists her mother, a school teacher in Delhi, as one of her greatest influences, and it will be interesting to watch her career develop as she starts working more often in India’s other cinemas.
