tOLLYWOOD ACTRESS
The chirpy Tollywood actress Poonam Bajwa is busy expanding territories, after her successful stint in the Telugu film industry। The actress who has her kitty full with three Tamil movies currently, says she wants to experiment with different kinds of roles and cinema while she waits for the "right" Tollywood role to come her way. "I've heard over 50 Tollywood scripts till now but all of them offered roles of either a bubbly energetic youngster or a shy innocent village damsel. These are characters I've already played and I don't want to be typecast. Right now, I'm starring in a Tamil movie opposite Jeeva and another one with Tamil actors Srikanth and Vishnu." Talking about the contrasts between both these South industries, Poonam says that the difference lies in the audience's response. "While Tollywood is still all about glamour, the Tamil audience is more open and receptive to non-glamorous roles that require less make-up. Artistic movies have a bigger audience there," says the actress, who enjoys shedding her glamorous image to do serious roles. "I want to do different type of roles. Signing up for films that portray stereotypes restricts me from exploring other avenues in acting. Hence, I am very choosy about the films I do. Someday, I'd love to play a vamp or a brat. It'd be the opposite of the roles I've played so far," she says. While Kollywood is keeping Poonam Bajwa busy, the actress admits she misses shooting in Hyderabad. "I have fun-filled memories of Hyderabad. It is never boring. I love the city's nightlife and miss eating at the amazing restaurants. In fact, the Hyderabad joyride starts off right at the swanky airport," says this actress who is popular with the city's party crowd. Things may be going good for her, but Poonam reveals that she is not too ambitious when it comes to her career. "I'm happy with the way my career has shaped up and I have no set goals as such. Neither do I want to chase awards. My parents are proud of what I am and that's what matters to me," she says.
