Her fans may not exactly be singing "Laila, Oh Laila", but they must be happy to see lissome Laila 'alive and kicking' on the reel!
The lively lass is back in the limelight well and truly. Her latest flick ‘Kanda Naal Muthal’ has set the cash registers ringing. The Priya-directed film has pitch forked the dainty damsel to the pinnacles of fame. Music by Yuvan has the Tamil youth swaying to his tunes.
And as it inevitably happens, offers have started coming thick and fast, buzzes the grapevine. No wonder, Laila is grinning from ear to ear these days!
Among her films due for release in the not distant future is ‘Paramasivam’ in which Ajit is her hero. Two more are in the pipeline.
Lovely Laila is also busy in neighbouring Kannada film world. She is playing the female lead in the Upendra-starrer ‘Thande thakka Makka’. It is the Kannada remake of the Tamil original "Thevar Magan" featuring the late Sivaji Ganesan and superstar Kamal Haasan .
All in all, Ms Laila is luxuriating in her recently-regained glory in Kollywood.
As a matter of fact ‘Ullam Ketkume’ marked the beginning of her return to the silver screen, scotching rumours of impending exit from film world. ‘Kanda Naal Muthal’ has sort of firmed up her upswing.
