Sneha means friendly

(Source : www.msn.com )

For an actress whose first official film is still to see the light of the day (or is it the darkness of the theatre?), Sneha has indeed come a long way. The svelte actress has acted with almost all the top stars in both Tamil and Telugu. And the general consensus in Kollywood is that Sneha is the next numero uno of the industry.

But Sneha is not ready to be humoured by such sweet words. Just discharged from hospital, after an operation on her leg that was necessitated by a car accident while she was coming from shooting, Sneha is more intent on completing her assignments that have been delayed due to the mishap.

"I am a professional actress. So my mind is on films only," she says smiling. The films right now in her kitty in Tamil are King with Vikram, April Madhathil with Srikanth, Ye Nee Romba Azhagairukka with Sham.

The last named is in fact pretty well known due to the reported incident involving her and the hero Sham. "I am not ready to say anything on that," she clams up. But it is not defensively, but diplomatically.

Representative of the fact that Sneha is climbing up the popularity charts quickly is that she has acted with both top stars as well as young heroes. "I am happy for that. But my ultimate aim is not acting with so and so star. My goal is to just keep acting."

That is on odd sort of nirvana.

But Sneha has managed to retain her philosophical outlook on life despite the blinding glitz and glamour of tinsel town. "The essential 'you' doesn't change just because the surroundings change," she says.

Talking of changes, Sneha's is a changed name. Her original name is Suhasini. "I am still called so in my family. Since there was an established actress in the same name, I was forced to change mine. But I have not changed my personality".

She still keeps talking endlessly with friends over the phone. She still plays practical pranks on her family members. She still bathes her favourite teddy bear. She still reads novels. She still dances by herself.

"Well, I had to cut down on these because of my shooting commitments. Now this accident has given me an opportunity to do things close to my heart". That's typical Sneha. Always looking at the sunnier side of life.

The Sneha Bug!

(Source : www.sify.com)

By Moviebiz

What is it about Sneha which is making everyone root for her? She is a thorough professional, always smiling, no starry tantrums, and is easily accessible to the producers and press. The media is already projecting her as the next superstar heroine.

The younger lot of heroes, Shaam, Srikanth, Tarun and Maddy swear by her. Recently Shaam was so smitten by the Sneha bug that while shooting a song sequence for Yai Nee Romba Azhaga Irukkey, he accidentally kissed her, where a scene demanded a very romantic approach! And the grapevine is abuzz with rumours of a hot, hot and hush-hush affair brewing between her and the handsome hunk Srikanth. Both of them are now shooting for April Madhathil and the chemistry between them can be seen on the sets of the film.

The older heroes Vijaykanth and Arjun have been pestering her for dates and believe it, she has said NO to Vijaykanth saying that her dates are full! Vijaykanth wanted her for Rajiyam and is now asking her for dates for his new film. Arjun on the other hand has told her that he would start his film only after getting her dates. Sneha has even rumoured to have told a producer that she has two minds of doing a film with Maddy, as both the films she did with him did not do too well.

So what is the secret behind Snehas success? Her decision to act only with the younger lot of heroes is making her the hottest property in town.

Sneha conquers Tollywood, too!

Much-sought-after Sneha, who is riding the roller-coaster in Mollywood, has made it to the top in Telugu film world, too.

The films that have made the most happening star in the Tollywood are Hanuman Junction and Brahmachari. The latter is the Telugu remake of Kamal Haasans Tamil super-hit Pammal K. Sambandham.

A factor that facilitated her meteoric rise in Tollywood is the fact that she is the only Telugu-speaking heroine the industry, bristling with Bollywood rejects!

The last of the successful Telugu heroines was Vijayashanthi. The Telugu heroes distinct preference for goris from Bollywood saw the exit of dark-skinned Vijayashanthi.

Hope Vijayashanthis fate does not overtake swarthy Sneha, who hails from Rajamundry in Andhra Pradesh.

Meanwhile, Sneha is ruling the roost in Mollywood as well, with her Pongal release Punnagai Desham raking it in.

The great charmer

(Source : www.chennaionline.com)

Sneha's films may not have done all that well at the box office. She has no great performances to talk of either. But Sneha is the happening actress of the day. Whatever the fate of the film, and however bad the film is, Sneha manages to escape unscathed. The charm and grace she projects, her wholesome demeanour, and her confident easy appearance before the camera, are her plus points that gets her noticed. Not surprising that Vasanth has taken her for the title role in 'Nee Romba Azhaga Irukke' where she is paired with Shaam of '12B' fame.

Jyotika sidelined to accommodate Sneha

(Source : http://indiainfo.com/tamil/ )

Kodambakkam heroes have started sidelining actress Jyotika. She starred in a small role in film Vaali . Presently Jyotika has overtaken other heroines making the heroes chase her for supporting roles in her movies.

Reaching the top, Jyotika's tantrums became non-stop, annoying the cine world.

It is said that she used to respect all producers, directors and actors initially so that she could gain much popularity in the South Indian films. Of late Jyotika has been throwing weight around making all sorts of excuses and demands for her future roles.

Jyotika now avoids shootings when she finds that her favourite co-actors are not acting in her movies. She has become demanding in every aspect, especially with her roles in 'certain shots' and prefer to do roles in a non-embracing shots with her co-actors.

She does not mind acting with young actors but disagrees to act with senior and veteran actors.

Jyotika blindly approves to act with Shyam and Madhavan (young actors), while she avoids acting with Ajit and Vijay, which has annoyed most producers and directors. Not just this. She has hiked her role offers with great demands from the directors and producers.

Recently Jyotika demanded a huge role offer to act with a famous senior actor, after he consented to her demand she agreed to act with him. (So much for the heroine's demand) Many producers and directors have started sideling Jyotika for the new face Sneha. Cine world has booked and prefer Sneha. This would continue giving Sneha hot role offers. Pity that Jyotika lost to Sneha!

Smooth Operator: Sneha

(Source : http://in.movies.yahoo.com )

Though she made her debut in 'Ennavalle' it was the film 'Anandham' that really clicked for the little nymphet Sneha. When heroines being imported from Bollywood were dominating the Tamil film industry, she earned the appreciation of most of the people in the industry for being an actress from Tamil Nadu itself who finally knew to speak Tamil fluently. She bagged the role opposite Maddy in 'Parthale Paravasam'. She also did a commendable job in the comedy film 'Pammal K Sambhandham' opposite Abbas. Her earlier co-stars who enjoyed working with her would arrive early in the sets to have a chit-chat with her. But then things were going too perfect her way, so rumors started flying that she was arrogant and haughty in her work style. But Sneha was immediate to react to the situation, instead of being upset about the gossip flaring around; she found a 'plan B' to the situation. She has become a more reserved person. It was more of a strict cycle from the scene and back to the chair pattern, which she followed that earned her back the appreciation once again. Sneha is doing a film with Srikanth called 'April Madathil' and Shaam with 'Aye Nee Romba Azhaga Irukkey'

Sneha: Putting her best foot forward

For an actress whose first official film is still to see the light of the day (or is it the darkness of the theatre?), Sneha has indeed come a long way.

The pearl-toothed actress has acted with almost all the top stars in both Tamil and Telugu. And the general consensus in Kollywood is that Sneha is the next numero uno of the industry.

But Sneha is not ready to be humoured by such sweet words. Just discharged from hospital, after an operation in her leg that was necessitated by a car accident while she was coming from shooting, Sneha is more intent on completing her assignments that have been delayed due to the mishap.

' I am a professional actress. So my mind is on films only, ' she told a Tamil weekly. The films in her hand in Tamil are King with Vikram, April Madhathil with Srikanth, Ye Nee Romba Azhagairukka with Sham.

The last named is in fact pretty well-known due to the reported incident involving her and the hero Sham. ' I am not ready to say anything on that, ' she clams up. But it is not defensively, but diplomatically.

New wave love story

(Source : hinduonnet.com) August 22, 2002

WHEN FILMS of superstars are falling like ninepins and the stars refuse to reduce their salary, what do poor Tamil producers do? They run to new comers or one-film old wannabe superstars. Take the case of G. Thyagarajan, and his Satyajyothi Films that had earlier made offbeat films such as "Moondram Pirai", "Kizhakku Vaasal" and "Pagal Nilavu", who has signed up the one-film old Srikanth and Sneha, who is still after that elusive hit.

The film, titled "Parthipanin Kanavu", is directed by newcomer, Pazhaniappan, former assistant of Parthipen. The producer of the film, G. Thyagarajan, who gave Mani Ratnam the break with "Pagal Nilavu", says, "The film is a new wave love story with a twist in the climax. It is a city-based subject but totally different from what you have seen earlier. It has some pacy numbers by Yuvan Shankar Raja."

Vijay and Sneha- together for the first time!

Vijay and Sneha- together for the first time!

"If acting with Vijay will turn the tides in Sneha's favor, who could stop it?" says the Tamil cine industry about Sneha.

Does that mean....?
yes. For the first time, Sneha is going to work with Vijay. After completing 'Bhagavathy', Vijay has quietly begun working on his new film with Sneha in the lead. Shootings are on at Ooty.

Unlike other actors' Vijay begins his films under a strick cover of silence. All the noise makings and advertisings begin only after the film is ready for release. Vijay is following the same principle for this film too.

The Dream Girl of Tamil cinema, Sneha, hasn't had the fortune of tasting real success. Almost all her movies have flopped. But, Vijay is the uncrowned Emperor when it comes to Box Office collections. Many people believe that this union of Sneha with Vijay in a yet-to-be-named film should be a turning point in Sneha's cinema career.
