I want to prove myself as a performer: Sanjjanaa

Sanjjanaa, whose multi-starrer Sagar is now in theatres has had a busy few months. The actor, who had been giving finishing touches to the much-delayed Sagar with a schedule in Singapore for its songs, followed that up with another stint in the country for her film with Aditya, called Rebel.
Once back in town, she took off for a long schedule of her new Telugu film, Yamahoo Yama, to Los Angeles.
Yamahoo Yama sees Sanjjanaa with Sai Ramshankar and Sri Hari. But what���������s got the actor most excited is her upcoming Sandalwood project���������Mahanadhi, which according to the actor is a female-centric film, with her as the protagonist.
���������This is a first in my career and I am very excited,��������� says Sanjjanaa. And while the actor claims to have got her highest ever remuneration for the film, which sources say is Rs 13 lakh, the excitement stems more from the fact that the producers have placed faith on her to invest Rs 3.5 crore on a film with Sanjjanaa as the heroine.
���������I will not leave any stone unturned to make this film a success. It is a great privilege to work with this team. Director Krishnappa Uppur has directed two heroine-centric Tulu films, both of which have won state awards. The rest of the team is also fantastic,��������� says Sanjjanna, adding, ���������The main reason I accepted a film like Mahanadhi is because I want to prove myself as a performer and answer all those critics who say that heroines hardly have anything to do in a film.���������
