<p>If there’s somebody who wants to do as many things as possible in this lifetime and still thinks it is just not enough, it has to be actress Priyamani.<br /><br /></p>.<p> Her decision to be a celebrity judge on a reality dance show, she says, has thrown up a host of new possibilities. “The small screen has a much wider reach. My decision to be a judge is one of the best I’ve made. Now, whoever I meet tell me how much they love the show and recall exact episodes and narrate them. This is truly touching,” Priyamani shares.<br /><br />Her next big release in Kannada is Ambreesha, opposite Darshan, where she plays a rich, spoilt granddaughter of a contractor, who runs a business house. Her character is called Smitha. “I run a business establishment and have very strong notions about running a business and making profit is my only motive.<br /><br /> The character, I play is strong, overpowering and talks only in terms of dollars,” Priyamani says. Darshan also has an equally dominating character in the film. “The two of them are always on a war of words. The story is about how Smitha tones down and falls in line with Darshan’s ideals. But this is a slow process,” she states.<br /><br />She will also appear as a CBI officer in music director RP Patnaik’s directorial debut in Kannada, titled Vyuha.“I play the role of a CBI officer who has been deputed on special duty. This is the first time, I am playing a cop’s role in a Kannada film. It’s an intelligent role and something that I thoroughly enjoyed working on,” she states. <br /><br />Though she hops in and out of the City for shooting, she confesses that she’s soaking in every bit of the jet-setting pace. “I am enjoying the rush. There’s so much more I can do,” she adds. Priyamani has a couple of projects in hand and is listening to scripts but she’s yet to take on more. Is she going slow? “Oh no, I haven’t come across anything that I can take on,” she clarifies. <br /><br />But she feels that today, actresses have more to do in films than just look pretty. “Slowly but steadily, actresses are being given a chance to prove their mettle,” she wraps up.</p>
