Rocket Singh’s Shazahn Padamsee will next be seen in Tollywood’s Orange with Ram Charan Teja and Genelia D’Souza but she is keen to stress that she isn’t leaving Mumbai for good. “Bollywood is my focus,” she confirms, “I have got a lot of exciting offers in Bollywood. I will be signing something very soon.”
After Orange, she will then move further south to Kollywood to feature in Kanimozhi opposite Jai. “I was determined to get her to Kollywood, even though she was expensive, which added to our budget,” says Kanimozhi producer Shiva, “All said and done, we have been proved right after the photo shoot was over. And believe me, Shazahn will rock the Tamil scene once this film is released.”
So which is Shazahn’s favourite city – is it Mumbai, Hyderabad or Chennai? None of them, is the answer as Shazahn has just returned from a holiday in New York with her father and now counts that as her favourite destination. “The off Broadway plays were the best,” she explains, “I saw a fantastic play called Fuerza Bruta which was amazing. The act takes place above your head with actors dressed as flying fairies and fish underwater. I also had the opportunity to watch the Cirque du Soleil – both of which were out-of-this-world experiences.”
