Hansika Motwani unplugged!

Teenage beauty Hansika Motwani made a great start in her Telugu career with Desamuduru opposite Allu Arjun. With Kantri and Billa, Hansika became the fastest rising star in Tollywood. Now she is all set to conquer�hearts in Kollywood with her debut film Maapillai opposite Dhanush. Maapillai is a remake of the yesteryear super hit with the same title starring Dhanush's father-in-law Superstar Rajinikanth. Bollywood heart-throb Manisha Koirala will play Dhanush's mother-in-law in Maapillai, the story of the cold war between a lady and her son-in-law.

“I’ll try my best to balance my career between Bollywood, Tollywood and Kollywood as I would like to get the best of the worlds. At the moment, I’m doing Main Aur Meri Himmat with Shoaib Akthar (former Pakistani fast bowler) and also an untitled film with Imran Khan directed by Sanjay Chhel,” the pretty actress said to a leading English daily.

About working with Manisha Koirala, she said, “It was great fun to work with Manishaji. She is such a beautiful woman and a great performer.”

Interestingly, the child artist-turned-heroine does not use heavy make-up for her films. “I have not used any make-up for the talkie portion of Maapillai. But, since the director (Suraj) wanted me to do some light make-up for the song sequences, I agreed. The idea is to be as natural as possible,” she added.

The teenage beauty has recently adopted 19 children in Mumbai. “God has given me a lot and it’s only right for me to share it with those less fortunate. God willing, in a few years’ time, I will be able to help a lot more kids in need,” she added.

And the big news is that Prabhu Deva has chosen her to play the role of a young Tamil girl settled in Paris for his forthcoming Itch. She’s also in talks with a big production house for their next film with a Superstar.

Looks like the lady is all set to capture the hearts of many!
