Priyamani Does A Bikini Act!

Ever since Priyamani received her National award for the Best Actress, she is desperately trying to shed the image of a serious actress in all languages.

The pretty young actress is indeed smart as she understands that the route to superstardom is not through awards and off-beat films but being glamourous and stylish.

Now in Telugu, shedding that family, girl-next-door image she gained with films like Pellaina Kothalo and Yamadonga, is all set for a bikini act in Nitin's latest film Drona. However, she has told her producer not to release the pictures to the media till the film releases.

Unit sources say that Priyamani was initially reluctant to wear a two-piece swim suit but the director convinced her by proving a point about how Nayanthara became the queen of Tamil cinema after her famous bikini act in Ajit's blockbuster Billa and more recently Priyanka Chopra in Dostana.
