Saran
is
become
one
of
the
hottest
and
most
sensational
heroines
in
the
country
after
the
success
of
blockbuster
Shivaji,
in
which
she
acted
with
Superstar
Rajinikanth.
She
also
has
to
her
credit
a
Hindi
release.
Her
earlier
films
like
Enakku
20
Unakku
18,
Thoda
Tum
Badlo
Thoda
Hum,
Mazhai
and
Shukriya
were
flops.
But
Shivaji
has
given
her
career
new
life.
Now,
most
wanted
heroine
in
the
Indian
film
industry,
her
beauty
and
success
has
reached
across
all
language
film
audiences.
Here
are
excerpts
from
a
recent
interview
with
the
star
actress
How
do
you
feel
after
the
release
of
Shivaji?
Wow...
it
is
amazing...
I
really
didn't
expect
this
kind
of
global
recognition
for
me.
For
this,
I
am
thankful
to
Aishwarya
Rai.
Shivaji
is
a
window
for
us
to
realize
how
big
an
international
star
Rajinikanth
is.
A
true
gentleman,
he
allowed
me
to
shine
in
the
film.
I
will
never
forget
my
experiences
on
the
sets
of
Shivaji.
It
is
a
true
privilege
to
act
opposite
Rajini
and
it
is
a
dream
come
true
for
me.
Tell
me
something
about
your
recently
released
Hindi
movie
Awarapan?
Actually,
I
was
looking
for
a
good
roles
in
Hindi
films.
That
was
when,
I
got
a
call
from
Mahesh
Bhatt
and
director
Mohit
Suri.
After
I
heard
the
story
of
the
film,
I
felt
that
I
needed
to
play
this
kind
of
a
romantic
role
atleast
once
in
my
career.
So
I
immediately
accepted
the
offer.
How
was
your
experience
with
Emraan
Hashmi?
Oh,
very
nice...
Emraan
is
a
funny
guy
and
always
keeps
a
smile
on
his
face
wherever
he
is.
It
was
really
a
good
experience
for
me.
Now
you
have
given
two
hits
simultaneously
in
the
North
and
the
South.
How
do
you
feel?
I
would
like
to
first
make
one
thing
clear.
I
am
not
reason
for
the
Shivaji's
success.
It
is
purely
a
Rajini
film.
I'm
proud
to
be
a
part
of
the
success.
Awarapan
is
the
director's
film
from
start
to
finish.
I
had
done
what
the
director
told
me
to.
But
of
course,
I'm
flying
high
with
the
success
of
both
the
films.
About
your
forthcoming
projects?
In
Tamil,
I'm
playing
the
female
lead
role
opposite
Vijay
in

I
have
also
signed

in
which
I
will
be
acting
with
Vikram.
I
am
in
talks
for
two
more
projects
in
Tamil.
In
Hindi,
I'm
playing
an
