Posted: 30 Jan 2009 10:37 AM CST


Possibly, it's not a direct film in Tamil but 'Ennai Theriyuma' has made the title so apt for the actress Sneha Ullal. Yeah! The actress with her sizzling looks and commendable performance in 'Ennai Theriyuma' has turned everyone's attention on her.
Now, we have leading producers and directors approaching her, but couldn't meet up for her demands.
Earlier, when approached for 'Thiruthani' and 'Enga Veetu Pillai' with Bharath, she demanded a remuneration of Rs. 40-60Lakhs, However, Simbhu is so keen on picking her in for 'Kettavan' and if she makes it here, the actress would top the charts alongside new missies Thamannah and Anushka. Maybe, it could be a farewell for Trisha and Nayanthara…
