<p>However, the 32-year-old actress says that it isn’t the lure of looking glamourous that makes her choose her roles now.<br /><br />“After being in the industry for so long, I have the understanding to know whether a film really needs me or not,” said Reddy, who made her debut in 2002 with Maine Dil Tujhko Diya.<br /><br />“Today I can’t pick up a film just because it comes from a top banner. I have to like the overall quality of a film rather than consenting to it just because someone tells me that I have to be scantily dressed,” said Reddy.<br /><br />The actress says she plans to pick up only meaty roles in future irrespective of the banner.<br /><br />“There are certain films that I did because they came from reputed banners and boasted of good co-stars. I may not have had much to do in these films but I thought the overall impact would be worthwhile. However I can’t continue to do that now,” Reddy said. <br /><br />In Tezz, Reddy will be seen doing some action along with co-star Ajay Devgan. “I always wanted to do a full on action movie and Tezz gave me that opportunity to merge performance with the look. Here I have gone quite sleek with that ‘bike-n-babe’ <br />combination. The look I am carrying has a very Angelina Jolie kind of feel to it,” the <br />actress said. <br /><br />Meanwhile, her Bollywood career hasn’t made her say goodbye to South. She is already shooting a Tamil film with Madhavan Vettai, her Telugu film Nadunisi Naaygal with director Gautham Menon released early this year.<br /><br />“Even Madhavan is doing regional films. And then Prabhu Deva made ‘Wanted’ with Salman but is still continuing his stint in South. After all these films have a great reach today so it would be foolhardy to let something good pass by,” Reddy said.</p>
