Actress Shanthi Priya, who was seen in films like Saugandh (1991),Phool Aur Angaar (1993) and Veerta (1993) quit movies in the late 90s to focus on her personal life. Now, she is all set to return to showbiz with a biopic.

Ask her if missed being away from the camera and she shares, “I don’t have any regrets. I took a break to focus on my duties as a mother and a wife. I think I have fulfilled all my duties and now I am back to where I belong.”

Shanthi Priya, who tried her hand at television in the last decade, says that she feels inspired when she sees the actresses of the current generation. “Today, I see that not only actresses who are married are facing the camera, but also those who are mothers return to showbiz after their maternity leave. I am glad that my sons, too, pushed me to get back to what I like doing the most — acting,” she says.

The actress will return to the big screen as Sarojini Naidu in a biopic on the freedom fighter. Talking about the project, she says, “It is a pan-India movie and will be made in four different languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi. The film will go on floors in June. I have a lot of prep to do before we start shooting. There are hardly any reels or clippings to observe Sarojini Naidu’s mannerisms. I need to get her body language right before I start shooting. I am very excited for this one.”
