Dhanush, Genelia bond well!

She might just be few films old in Tamil, but she is certainly one of the most sought-after actresses in Kollywood. She might not have had a Tamil release in the recent past, but Genelia is still remembered for her characters Hasini (in Santosh Subramanian) and Harini (in Boys) which she played a few years ago. And this time around, the actress is back as the bubbly Pooja, opposite Dhanush, in Mithran Jawahar���������s Uthamaputhiran, a remake of her Telugu hit, Ready.
���������It���������s been two years since I worked in a Tamil film and I���������m really delighted that I���������m back with a special project like Uthamaputhiran. I thank director Mithran C Jawahar, who gave me the opportunity to work in this film. It has been a fantastic journey throughout and I enjoyed every bit shooting for the flick,��������� starts off the chirpy Genelia.
Recounting her experience working with Dhanush, Genelia enthuses, ���������This is the first time I���������m cast opposite Dhanush and I must say, I had a blast shooting with him. We had a great time together. Also, I think we complement each other very well, which will reflect on the outcome, onscreen.���������
Playing a bubbly girl is not new to Genelia, and the actress is donning a similar avatar in Uthamaputhiran too. ���������I���������m reprising the role I did in Ready. I play a bubbly NRI girl called Pooja, who is torn in a family dispute. It���������s a very girl-next-door character, and my role has been slightly modified to suit the audience here. The film is a complete commercial family entertainer and is a slice from our lives. I���������m sure it will appeal to all sections of the audience.���������
And that���������s not the only reason why she holds this project close to her heart. ���������It���������s been more than seven years since I met actor Vivekh and I���������m really happy to team up with him after my maiden Tamil venture Boys. He is an encyclopedia of acting and needless to say, I learnt a lot from him.���������
The actress is also quite gung-ho about the music of the film. ���������The album of any film is considered to be the first milestone in a film���������s success. Once the album gets a tick mark from the audience, it���������s a hurdle crossed. In this case, I think Vijay Antony has churned out some blissful music,��������� she pipes.
With so many special elements attached to the project, does Genelia have butterflies in her stomach, as the film is about to hit the screens? ���������The original version in Telugu was a runaway hit and I hope the Tamil version does even better,��������� signs off the actress, who has four more projects in her kitty including the Vijay-starrer Velayudham and Santosh Sivan���������s Urumi.
