Bhanu Priya
was the dancing sensation of the South. She was the first
one to do it professionally and thoroughly. Dance is her first
love - she enjoyed it to the core and she still is. The beautiful
actress down South made her debut while she was doing the
school final, when the renowned Tamil Director, "BHARATHI
RAJA", being so confident of her dancing prowess and acting
capabilities after screen-testing her had given her a chance
in his new production "MELLA PESINA".
Later, she stepped
into "Tollywood" where she was given a welcome chance and
it was where she'd given her best and she's the dancing princess
in the "Tollywood".
Alhough Bhanu
Priya is known for the magnificient skills in Dance, she's
got the looks too. She's just beautiful and she acts beautiful
when she's offered and given a performance-oriented role.
That's her choice too -
In "Tollywood",
she first acted in "PREMA DEEPALU" but the all time
musical blockbuster "SITARA" was the first one on the stands
and that had won her all the appreciation she deserved and
had given her a break with all the top heroes and the top
directors.
All in all,
Bhanu Priya acted in 75 films in "Tollywood", 26 in
"Tamil", 13 in "Bollywood", 4 in "Malayalam" and 1 in "Kannada",
but "SITARA" was her first and the best movie.
Bhanu Priya
acted as a dignified elderly house-wife in "PEDARAYUDU"
and thinks such roles should be grabbed at the first offer
and the role she was offered in "ANNAMAYYA" which the
production unit thought that only she would justify was a
great one which she feels lucky about.
But there was
a huge gap in her filmi-career when she was at the top place
in the "Tollywood" especially - due to her sheer fault that
instead of building her career which was so colourful, she
got attracted to the Bollywood's offers and that's precisely
where she erred though she could act in a few films down there.
But she makes
no excuses. And she has a lot of plans for herself taking
up a research in dance and add new styles to the contemporary
repertoire besides establishing a dance institutuion for the
youth.
