Kyra Dutt plays love interest to Balakrishna

After impressing with her jatkas and matkas in an item song ‘Boochade Boochade’ in ‘Raccugurram’, B-town actress Kyra Dutt turns heroine to seasoned star Balakrishna in his upcoming film ‘Paisa Vasool’, “She plays his love interest and quite an interesting role too. After showcasing her dancing skills in recently released ‘Samanthakamani,’ she gets an opportunity to showcase her histrionic skills,’ says a source, close to the unit.

The actress who was seen in Hindi films like ‘Calendar Girls’ has become a sought-after-girl for special appearances in Tamil and Telugu films. “Director Puri felt that she could do justice to this glam-centric role and she lived up to his expectations,’ he adds. Even though, there are two other actresses Shriya Saran and Muskaan, Kyra is looking forward to make her presence felt.

Invariably, it’s a good chance to re-design her career in south and become a sought-after-actress, rather than confining herself in providing oomph quotient in raunchy special numbers. “It all depends on how she likes to take her career forward, but her role is worthy enough,’ source concludes.

Kyra should also realise that she could be soon losing item songs to lead actresses like Kajal Aggarwal, Tammanah and Shruti Haasan, so it’s better she charts a new course for good.
