Meet Southern hottie Sneha, Ranbir's Barfee girl

The avalanche of Tamil-Telugu actresses into Bollywood continues. While all attention is on Ileana D’Cruz who makes her high-profile transition from Telugu to Hindi with Ranbir Kapoor in Barfee, a far more in-demand strong-and-saleable Southern beauty is poised to make her entry into Hindi films.

29-year old Sneha who has done films in all the four major South Indian languages—Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada—is all set to make her Hindi debut in Revathy S Varhma’s Mad Dad.

When contacted director Revathy Varmha explained, “ Sneha is not playing his wife in the present times. She plays the wife, a very aristocratic character, who dies at age 25. She will be located and dressed up in the 1980s style.

She lives only in the memory of the title character. I chose Sneha because she has always chosen unconventional roles in the South. She has versatility to carry off any part with ease. ”

It is here that Revathy drops a bomb, “Actually Sneha was supposed to play Sita opposite Ajay Devgn’s Rama in Ramayan. Then Sneha was dropped and Kajol was signed. Finally Santoshi’s Ramayan never happened. ”

To her credit Sneha doesn’t diplomatically deny her Devgn past.

Says the lovely multi-award winning actress, “Yes, Raj Kumar Santoshi did sign me to play Sita. I’ll always have the highest regard for him. He was the first filmmaker from the Hindi film industry to approach me. He believed in my range.

Now I’ve chosen to enter Hindi cinema with Mad Dad because I always want to do challenging roles in any language. This is the best role to start my career in Hindi cinema. ”

Why Ranbir is so keen on being part of 'Dhoom' series?

Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor has expressed his desire to be part of the hit 'Dhoom' series. The theme of the series centres around thrill, action, bike chases, handsome thieves, smart and daring stealing plans.

After the success of 'Dhoom' (2004) and 'Dhoom 2' (2006), there has been much buzz in B-town regarding its third instalment. Actor Aamir Khan would be seen as baddie in 'Dhoom 3' while actors Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra would continue with their famous pair of 'Jai' and 'Ali'.

"If another sequel to 'Dhoom' series comes after 'Dhoom 3' then I would love to be part of it. It is a very good franchise. Also given the fact that the script is too good, " Ranbir said. The 28-year-old actor wants to do some action films now and build up his muscles.

"Since 'Sawariya' my body has been the same. I have never put on or had to lose weight anytime. For me it is difficult to build muscles because my body type is such that it loses weight easily.

"So I hope at some point of a time I get to do an action film so that I can build up my body, So that I can also look real... like if I hit the villain it should look real, " Ranbir said. Ranbir would be seen next in Imtiaz Ali's 'Rockstar' opposite Czech-Pakistani origin model Nargis Fakri. He plays the role of rockstar Jordan.

The film is slated to release this September. Later he will be seen in Anurag Basu's 'Barfee', a romantic-thriller alongside Priyanka Chopra and Tollywood actress Ileana D'Cruz. The film releases in 2012.
