Bangalore
based
actress
Shraddha
Srinath,
who
is
basking
in
the
success
of
her
recently
released
Kannada
movie
U
Turn,
is
elated
about
her
Tamil
debut,
opposite
Nivin
Pauly.
"I'm
still
coping
with
the
amazing
reviews
we've
been
getting
for
'U
Turn'
and
then
this
announcement
was
made
today:
I
will
be
making
my
Tamil
debut
with
Nivin
Pauly,
in
a
film
directed
by
Gautham
Ramachandran.
We
start
shooting
very
soon," she
wrote
on
her
social
media
page.
The
actress,
whose
debut
performance
is
being
appreciated
by
critics
and
movie
lovers
alike,
is
a
self-confessed
fan
of
Nivin
Pauly.
"I'm
Nivin
Pauly's
biggest
fan
and
the
fan
girl
in
me
is
refusing
to
calm
down.
But
on
a
more
serious
note,
my
Tamil
launch
couldn't
get
better
than
this.
Excited," she
added.
Though
Shraddha,
who
began
her
career
as
a
stage
actor,
looks
mesmerizing
on
screen,
she
has
said
it
is
a
nightmare
watching
herself
on
the
big
screen.
"It
is
a
nightmare
for
me
to
watch
myself
on
screen.
Luckily,
the
audience
didn't
think
so
when
they
saw
me," she
told
a
leading
daily.
Her
Tamil
debut,
which
is
being
directed
by
Nivin's
close
friend,
is
based
on
the
superhit
Kannada
flick,
Ulidavaru
Kandanthe. The
script
was
finalized
after
considering
nearly
40
drafts
over
a
period
of
nine
months,
according
to
its
director.
"In
June
2015,
we
had
set
up
an
office
in
Chennai,
and
since
then
we've
been
working
on
the
script.
It
took
us
nearly
40
drafts
over
a
period
of
nine
months
to
finally
lock
the
script.
It
was
one
crazy,
hell
of
a
writing
session,"
Gautham
Ramachandran
had
said.
The
film
was
speculated
to
be
made
in
Tamil
and
Malayalam,
but
Gautham,
a
former
associate
of
film-maker
Mysskin,
denied
such
reports.
"Nivin
insisted
we
make
the
film
only
in
Tamil.
We
were
supposed
to
work
in
the
past
and
back
then
he
gave
me
an
option
to
work
in
Malayalam.
However,
I
wasn't
comfortable.
So,
Nivin
suggested
we
wait
for
the
right
project
to
work
in
Tamil,"
he
said,
adding
that
they've
known
each
other
for
about
four
years.
