Shraddha
Srinath
(Jersey)
Kannada
beauty
Shraddha
Srinath
entered
the
Telugu
film
industry
with
the
critically
acclaimed
'Jersey'
and
added
a
new
dimension
to
her
career.
The
actress
looked
good
with
Nani
and
complemented
him
rather
well
in
the
dramatic
sequences,
proving
her
acting
skills
are
second
to
none.
Vidya
Balan
(NTR
Biopic)
Bollywood
actress
Vidya
Balan
made
her
Tollywood
debut
with
the
'NTR
Biopic,
released
in
two
parts.
The
lovely
lady,
who
played
Annagaru's
wife
Basavatarakam
Nandamuri,
delivered
a
beautifully
restrained
performance,
which
clicked
all
and
sundry.
Shraddha
Kapoor
(Saaho)
'Saaho',
marking
Shraddha
Kapoor's
Tollywood
entry,
was
arguably
the
biggest
Telugu
movie
of
the
year.
Featuring
Prabhas
in
the
titular
role,
it
opened
to
a
thunderous
response
at
the
ticket
window
before
collapsing
in
the
AP/TS
market.
Despite
being
a
letdown,
the
magnum
opus
grabbed
plenty
of
attention,
opening
new
avenues
for
the
Kapoor
girl.
Priyanka
Arul
Mohan
(Gang
Leader)
The
much-hyped
'Gang
Leader',
starring
Nani
in
the
titular
role,
proved
to
be
a
commercial
failure,
leaving
the
'Natural'
army
in
a
state
of
shock.
It,
however,
allowed
debutante
Priyanka
Arul
Mohan
to
showcase
her
raw
talent,
opening
new
avenues
for
her.
Yagna
Shetty
(Lakshmi's
NTR)
Yagna
Shetty,
a
fairly
popular
name
in
Sandalwood,
played
NTR's
second
wife
Lakshmi
Parvathi
in
the
highly
controversial
'Lakshmi's
NTR',
directed
by
Ram
Gopal
Varma.
While
her
performance
was
far
from
perfect,
most
critics
felt
it
channelled
the
character's
predicament
quite
well,
striking
a
chord
with
movie
buffs.
The
film,
which
released
despite
facing
numerous
challenges,
exceeded
expectations
at
the
ticket
window,
working
wonders
for
her
career.
