She is ready to tempting Tamil audience !

Vivacious Swathi seems overwhelmed after winning the Best Actor (female) Award at the 56th Idea Filmfare — South for her performance in the Telugu hit, Ashta Chamma. Even as congratulatory calls and messages pour in, she says like a true professional, “I am done with appreciation and I intend to return with a better performance.” Swathi has become a household name in Kollywood, post-Subramaniapuram. She claims to have received plenty of offers in Kollywood as well. “I have signed one Tamil film and I am essaying a significant role in it,” she informs.

Interestingly, at the Filmfare Awards function, she shared the stage with the team of Subramniapuram when they won the Award for Best Tamil Film. Ask her if she would have been more satisfied if she had bagged the Best Actor (female) Award for Subramaniapuram instead? “I don’t think so, although many colleagues asked me the same,” she reveals and adds “Doing a comic role is a tough job, but essaying a light-hearted role is challenging too. I wanted to change the perception that only serious films fetch you awards and honours. I’m glad I have been able to do that,” she smiles.
