Shriya Saran made her English debut in James Dodson’s film ‘The Other End of the Line,’ directed by Ashok Amritraj, in 2008. Shriya Saran, who was making her Hollywood debut, received a few positive compliments, unlike her Hollywood heartthrob co-star Jesse Metcalfe. The Other End of the Line, on the other hand, received mostly negative reviews. Worse still, it was a box office disaster.
Of course, she might boast about how the picture “marks a triumphant Stateside debut for gorgeous Indian actress Shriya,” as reported by Variety. So, where did the movie’s audience come from?
The $57,000 weekly gross in 91 North American theatres was more than a disaster for a little picture that reportedly cost $2-$3 million. The MGM-distributed film was a fiasco from the outset, and it would be out of theatres in a matter of days. In India, the English-language film was released, but only a few Shriya fans who had liked her in films like the Tamil hit Sivaji got to watch it.
Shriya has acted in over 75 films, making her one of the most well-known actresses in the South Indian cinema industry. After her debut, Shriya came to stardom in the Telugu film industry. Her first important Bollywood film was Awarapan, which she co-starred in alongside Emraan Hashmi and was released in 2007.
She went on to appear in a number of other Telugu films, as well as Bollywood and Tamil films. Saran appeared in the 2007 Tamil film Sivaji, which was the most popular at the time. She went on to act in films such as Kanthaswamy (2009) in Tamil and Pokkiri Raja (2010) in Malayalam, establishing herself as one of the South Indian film industry’s leading heroines. We don’t even need to talk about her recent successes; the actress is at the pinnacle of her acting career.
