After all I’m a desi girl Shreya

Shriya Saran seems to be making headlines these days and for all the right reasons. First, her magnum-opus, Kanthaswamy with Vikram is all set to hit the screens on August 21.

And now, if all goes well, she will be walking the red carpet at the 34th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for her film with Deepa Mehta, Cooking With Stella.

“I’m very excited,” she giggles, “When a movie is selected for various film festivals, the expectations increase. People get inquisitive about the film and want to catch it on the big screen. Especially, if it’s an international film festival, the Indian audience gets curious and the film gets a huge response in the Indian market. I’m glad that Cooking With Stella! was selected for the TIFF with many other interesting and remarkable films from across the country.”

So, what has she decided to wear on the big day? “We haven’t even decided when we will be leaving for the festival. Though TIFF begins on September 10, our film will be screened only on September 16. So, I have a lot of time on hand. But, I want to wear an Indian costume for the festival. After all, I’m a desi girl,” she says.
