Anushka,
who
was
so
far
known
for
her
glam-doll
roles,
proved
she
could
act
with
her
double
role
in
Arundhati.
Portraying
a
sedate
princess
from
the
Nawabi
era
on
one
hand
and
a
modern
girl
on
the
other,
Anushka
had
ample
scope
to
prove
her
acting
skills.
She
had
to
learn
how
to
walk
and
behave
like
a
young
princess
from
the
famed
Nawabi
period
in
Hyderabad's
history.
She
has
an
entirely
different
look
–
demure,
sari-clad
with
a
big
bindi
–
compared
to
her
earlier
look.
Not
only
were
ordinary
audiences
awed
by
the
transformation
in
her
image,
Anushka
also
got
an
unexpected
admirer
named
Puri
Jagannath.
The
ace
director,
who
has
started
pre-production
work
on
his
next
project
with
Prabhas,
was
so
impressed
with
her
acting
skills
that
he
decided
to
approach
Anushka
with
a
very
tempting
offer.
Puri
is
working
on
a
woman-centric
script
and
who
better
than
Anushka
to
essay
this
role?
Having
begun
her
career
with
Rendu
in
Kollywood,
Anushka
then
concentrated
all
her
efforts
on
reaching
the
top
slot
in
Tollywood.
But
now,
she
is
making
a
comeback
to
Tamil
films,
starring
opposite
Vijay
in
his
49th
film.
