Of late, Shriya has been busy working with Rajnikant (Sivaji) and his son-in-law Dhanush (Thiruvilayadal).

Though she is tight-lipped about Sivaji, she cannot stop singing praises of the Tamil superstar.

"He (Rajnikant) may be a superstar, yet he is so down-to-earth and humble," Shriya says. "His punctuality and energy at this age would put any younger person to shame. The respect he gives to people on the sets is immense. His superstar status does not come in the way of helping an actor or complimenting a shot -- even before the director says so. It's been an honour and a learning experience working with him."

Thiruvilayadal, Shriya's Tamil film with Dhanush is a "cute, wacky fun college story."

The actress will also star in a film opposite Vijay.

Shriya will soon be seen in a Hindi film as well. She has signed Mahesh Bhatt's [Images] next production, Awaarapan, to be directed by Mohit Suri (Woh Lamhe [Images], Kalyug, Zeher [Images]). It will costar Emraan Hashmi [Images].

But the actress has not entirely ignored the Telugu film industry that first brought her fame.

She has made cameos in Boss (Nagarjuna [Images]) and Munna (Prabhas and Ileana).

"Nagarjuna is a good friend and V N Aditya (with whom she worked in Nenunnanu) is a rakhi brother. So I did the cameos for them," she says.
