Bunny & NTR are just friends: Sheela

T-town dazzler Sheela has just rung in the new year with a lot of shopping and partying. And you can hear the delight in her voice when she says she couldn���������t have started off 2010 in a better way. ���������I chilled out for 10 days in Dubai, turned into a shopaholic, ate some of the most scrumptious meals and partied like there was no tomorrow,��������� she grins fondly.
And before you assume she���������d been holidaying with a guy, hold your thoughts. Sheela had taken time out to ���������chill��������� with her family. In her new film with NTR, Sheela seems to have reinvented herself from docile girl next-door to sultry diva. Is that a one-off, or do we see her as a hottie henceforth? ���������I deliberately picked this role as I wanted to break free from the traditional girl image that I had acquired after Seethakokachilaka and Parugu. Ever since I heard Nayanthara too was in the film, I wanted to play the glam role over the village belle���������s role,��������� she says. The other daunting task was to match steps with jellybones NTR. ���������Initially I was scared, but he put me at ease. It was difficult for him to dance since he���������d hurt his back in an accident. But he was mind-blowing,��������� she gushes.
Sheela���������s transformation into sexy siren has had its advantages too. She claims that she���������s now flooded with film offers. ���������Among the 10 films I was offered, I have signed up one big ticket flick opposite a leading star. I am not in a hurry to sign films as I am just 20,��������� she reveals.
Sheela insists that earning ���������big money��������� is not her only criteria. ���������I want to be remembered as a versatile actor,��������� she quips. After a negative act in Maska and author-backed roles in Prem Kahani (Kannada) and Thanthoni (Malayalam) she���������s ���������returned to Tamil films,��������� she says.
While her professional life is eventful, Sheela���������s personal life isn���������t too colourful. ���������I party with close friends, but I share only professional vibes with colleagues. Even Allu Arjun and NTR are just friends,��������� she says. Now, where have we heard all that before?
