Lekha Washington speaks out!

Lekha Washington was quite the witty and whacko [in a good way, of course] VJ on SS Music, and when she decided to take the cine plunge, expectations were quite high. The former IPL anchor is currently shooting in the Andamans for her Bollywood debut Peter Gaya Kaam Se opposite Rajeev Khandelwal.

Lekha also has a Telugu film opposite Allu Arjun and Manoj Manchu, and two Tamil films in her kitty. “My Telugu film, Vedam, is a prestigious project, which we’ve nearly completed with just one song sequence pending. I’m also currently shooting for the Tamil film Quarter Cutting,” the actress said.

“I did the IPL as I wanted attention in Mumbai. It’s quite a challenge for an actress from the South to break into Bollywood, and I’m quite enjoying myself now that I’ve managed to do it,” she added. There are also reports that the pretty lass will star opposite Golden Star Ganesh in an upcoming Kannada flick Thunta Thunti directed by Indrajit Lankesh.
