Hits
are what stars are made of. Forget acting
skills, looks and all other things that
are considered to be essentials for an actor.
All that is put on the backburner if one
is able to deliver a hit. |

That has what happened to Genelia
known in Tamil as Harini. She was
labeled as a non-starter after almost
all of her first 5 movies bombed
at the box office. Sye in Telugu
was the only movie that was worth
any mention. All other movies were
absolute duds. In Tamil, in spite
of working with some big banners
and stars she has not yet landed
a hit.
But the release of Bommarillu has
changed it all. The movie is reportedly
on it’s way to becoming a
bumper grosser, and what more; the
audience seems to be giving a big
share of applause to the heroine.

It is quite an achievement in a hero-dominated
industry. For the first time in her career,
Genelia’s acting skills are being
noticed. She has become an overnight star
in Tollywood and can supposedly command
a salary of nearly 60 lakhs for her next
project. That is what is happening in Tollywood,
but the ripples of this are being felt in
Kollywood too. |

Genelia
is currently working on Chennai Kadhal,
along with Boys co star Bharath and
Vikraman. The producer of Chennai
Kadhal has become alert about the
newfound star status of Genelia in
Andhra Pradesh and has thus decided
to go ahead and release the Telugu
dubbed version of the movie simultaneously
with the Tamil release. The bonus
being that Bharath and Vikraman are
already popular faces in Tollywood.

Can
Genelia continue to work her magic at the
box office? |
