Bollywood calls another Miss Sri Lanka
It looks like stepping off the ramp and straight into Bollywood sets
has become an unspoken norm for most models - both Indian and
international.
Seems like after Jacqueline Fernandez, Gamya Vijayadasa will be the
second Sri Lankan beauty queen to give Bollywood a shot.
The model-turned-actress is all set to work in director Luv Ranjan's
next. The director's last film was Pyaar Ka Punchnama.
Vijayadasa however refuses to divulge details about her upcoming
project. She says: "I'm not at liberty to say anything about the
character. All I can mention is that it's a youthful film and am glad to
be part of the project."
Ranjan's upcoming project is set to hit the floor by the end of the
year. However, it won't mark Vijayadasa's Bollywood debut. She has
already done an item number for an upcoming musical drama.
She adds: "I have no qualms about performing an item song as I'm a
trained dancer in the Sri Lankan dance form of Kandyan which is very
theatrical in nature for over 15 years now. So it's actually a lot of
fun but at the same time, I don't wish to be typecast as an item girl."
After winning the beauty queen title in Sri Lanka, Vijayadasa
received offers from the local film industry but nothing excited her
enough to sign the dotted lines.
On being asked whether she is in touch with compatriot Jacqueline
Fernandez, Vijayadasa says she hasn't met her yet.
"I haven't even spoken to her though I'd love to. It's really an
inspiration to see someone from your own country doing well in the
Hindif film industry," she adds.
