Treat every movie as if it's your first: Samantha

Looks like 2011 is going to be a busy year for you, not just with films but with endorsements that you are being flooded with?
The credit for this goes to Gautham Menon for giving me a dream start in Telugu films. Right now I can say I���������ve got four films. There���������s ���������Dookudu��������� with Mahesh Babu, Gautham Menon���������s ���������Erra Gulabilu���������, Rajamouli���������s ���������Eega��������� and a V V Vinayak film but I wouldn���������t want to talk about films that are not finalized as I am a bit superstitious.Coming to endorsements, it���������s awesome to be flooded with offers. Maybe people think that I bring them good luck! I consider it an honor whenever someone invites me for inaugurations.
How was it working with Mahesh Babu?
Everybody is asking me this question. I think he���������s extremely chilled out. After the tremendous success of ���������Ye Maya Chesave��������� I have begun to feel the pressure and I have been constantly worrying as to what do I bring to my next movies and that���������s when Mahesh suggested, ���������Do what the director wants. Treat every movie as if it���������s your first.��������� I have been following this advice religiously.
You���������ve bagged a Raja Mouli picture...
I am very excited to be doing ���������Eega���������. When Raja Mouli sir offered me a role in the film, I knew I needn���������t even look at the script. I am really happy to be a part of the film. I needed to do a film like that badly.
Are you open to art house films too?
I would love to do any genre as long as I don���������t get stereotyped. Given my physical attributes maybe I would not be able to do action sequences a la Angelina Jolie in the ���������Tomb Raider��������� but I���������d love to try new roles. I���������ve entered films by accident but now I love it.
What���������s the secret behind your cherubic look?
I don���������t think I am beautiful. I guess it���������s all about the roles I do and the sincerity with which I do my work. That���������s what makes people accept me, I think.
What are you 2011 resolutions?
To work hard and do the most that I can, especially work in some nice movies. I am a disciplined person. I almost behave like a grandma and if I had to add any more resolutions I would become more grandmotherly!
