Haripriya does the lungi dance

Actress Haripriya admits to having strong reservations about the prospect of having to dance around in a lungi in her upcoming film, Galata. However, the actress set aside her inhibitions and decided to give it a shot after director Krishna persuaded her that it would work.

    “I had some doubts initially as the prospect of wearing a lungi did terrify me. It isn’t the most glamorous of outfits and it was my introduction song in the movie. But after listening to director Krishna’s narration of the song, I was convinced. Choreographer Swarna came up with some outrageous dance moves and I enjoyed doing it,” says Haripriya, who is paired opposite Sri in the movie.

    The Bangalore-based actress is playing a tomboyish character in the movie. “I play a free spirited college student, Andal in the film. She has a mind of her own and lives by her rules. It’s a very whacked out character,” she says.  Meanwhile, the Muran girl has Vaaraayo Vennilaave with Atta Kathi Dinesh gearing up for release in Kollywood.
