The tendency to dismiss "I have a Bollywood offer" statements from actresses as a mere publicity stunt is hard to resist. But there are times when such information becomes true.

Hotnews! B'wood Rekha's "son" arirves!!! Prithviraj becomes director? Tamil 'Katha…' on July 18 Jayaram quits Maddy film!!! Shaji Kailash quits Lal film Navya returns to Kannada No action on complaint against Mallika Sherawat Yet another one on Raja Ravivarma Nayantara removed from Vijay film more...

Padmapriya is one such example.

When she acted in the controversial 'Mirugam', her role was so glamorous that many in the industry believed that it was a desperate attempt on her part to save her career. But nothing much happened. That was also the time when she started avoiding Malayalam cinema too, in spite of enjoying immense popularity there.

Now, with no offers in Malayalam and Tamil, everybody wondered if her career was over.

But she is now starring in a Bollywood film named 'Striker'. Not many know this but she could speak Hindi very fluently without any south Indian accent. So, starring in a Hindi film isn't going to be a problem for her.
