A city lady in a Telugu film – good that’s a rarity! Notorious for ‘importing’ lead actresses from opposite states and even countries, Tollywood has during final found heroine element closer home. Meet Hyderabadi girl, Adonika Rodricks, who is all set to make her entrance in an untitled crack starring Puri Jagannadh’s younger hermit Sai Ram Shankar.
The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology graduate, who returned from Australia on vacation, didn’t know T-town was on a cards until her auditions. Adonika recalls, “I viewed a few Tollywood offers before we left for Australia, though we didn’t see myself removing into Telugu films and we didn’t take them seriously. It all happened while we was here on a brief break. In fact, we was ostensible to conduct behind to join work there, though all that went for a toss when we altered my mind and started operative in a radio hire where I’d worked as an RJ before. And that’s when a film offers started entrance in again!”
So, what done her change her mind this time around? Adonika goes on to explain, “I had gotten 4 offers from Tollywood, while one was for a cameo role, a scripts that had a meatier purpose for me, were not impressive. And we knew a significance of a good entrance film. we trust that light attracts light and we consider that’s because this smashing plan came my way.”
Getting into a sum on how a film happened, Adonika says, “When executive Gopi Ganesh narrated the script final September, we knew this was a crack I’d wish to entrance with. Before we knew it, they had a print fire and asked me to dance impromptu, detached from vocalization a few lines in Telugu. Three days later, we met Puri Jagannadh, who scripted a film, and the rest is history. I’m told we was comparison from among 26 actresses, including some large names, who had auditioned for a role. For me, it is a ideal debut!”
Throwing light on her purpose in a untitled crack that is all set to recover in a summer of 2012, she says, “I play a second era NRI lady whose pass is stolen when she is travelling from US to Europe. She then, meets a actor and what follows is a roller-coaster float installed with twists and turns. The whole film is shot abroad and I’m really tender that a organisation was so veteran – utterly paradoxical to how braid city is viewed .”
With a denunciation being a small visitor to Adonika, who has been lifted in an Anglo-Indian household, she is withdrawal no mill unturned to master it. “I took it on myself to urge my Telugu as we had to be good during it, if we wanted to act in Tollywood. we started talking in Telugu with everybody on a sets… so most so, that we pronounce with my relatives in Telugu too,” she gushes.
Not only that, a singer who has her eyes set on creation it large here is holding her pursuit utterly seriously. “I’m gripping lane of foe – we know who is debuting and whom to watch out for. we held adult with all the movies we missed out on in a dual years that we was divided in Australia. we watched Puri Jagannadh’s flicks over and over again to know his character of films and to brush adult and broach what he expects from his artistes. I’m really competitive!” she proclaims as she signs off.
