Saran (born September 11, 1982) is an Indian film

while also attending an acting studio to follow her dream
to act. After her debut in 2001 with Ishtam, she gained
Telugu cinema's attention in 2002 by playing the role of
Bhanu in Santhosham, her first major hit. Following the
film she appeared in several Telugu films with prominent
actors, whilst, also making in-roads in Bollywood as well
as the Tamil film industry. In 2007, Saran became a
national figure after her performance alongside

ranging from romantic comedies and drama to science
fiction and action thrillers. Her most popular released
films include Santhosham (2002), Tagore (2003) and Sivaji:
The Boss (2007).
Early career
Shriya's first
opportunity to appear in front of the camera came whilst
she studied her second year at the LSR College in Delhi,
which she quit to participate for the shoot. Saran's
first screen appearance was in the music video of
Tirakthi Kyon Hawa by Reenu Nathan, which she was given a
chance to perform in by her dance teacher who had
recommended her. The video shot at Banaras gave her fame,
prompting Ramoji Films to offer her the lead role of Neha
in their film Ishtam starring and directed by newcomers.
Saran despite wanting to only try one film eventually
catapulted to fame. Before the release of Ishtam, Saran
signed three mega-budget films; Santosham, Nuvve Nuvve
and Tagore with the industry's top heroes, Nagarjuna,
Tarun and Chiranjeevi respectively.
Film career
Shriya started her movie acting career with the
Telugu film Ishtam (2001), produced by Usha Kiran Movies.
This first film didn't fare too well at the box office,
but she was noticed by many Telugu producers and
directors. Soon she signed for Nagarjuna's Santosham
(2002), which was a major hit and she didn't have to turn
back since then. She was very lucky to get the most
coveted chance to act opposite none other than
Chiranjeevi at a very early point in her career. After
the huge success of Tagore she became one of the top
actresses of the south Indian film industry. Her later
movies, such as Nuvve Nuvve and Bhageeratha, earned her
many accolades. She had one of the biggest hits in her
career with Chatrapati opposite Prabhas. Shriya is also
endorses for large brands like LUX and Head&Shoulders.
She made her Tamil movie debut in Enakku 20 Unakku 18
(2003), cast along with Telugu actor Tarun, Trisha
Krishnan. The film was an average hit at box-office, but
it was more importantly a musical hit due to music
composed by A. R. Rahman. She had plenty of glamorous
roles lined up for her in Tamil, but instead continued
with Tollywood for a year. She has made her comeback in
Kollywood through the film Mazhai with Jayam Ravi. The
movie did well at the box-office. She beat other top
actresses for the much coveted role with Rajinikanth in
Shankar's Sivaji: The Boss which is the most expensive
Indian film till date after Dasavatharam. Most recently
she appeared opposite Vijay in Azhagiya Tamil Magan, and
currently filming with Vikram in Kanthaswamy.
