Break Point

At the Fiama Di Wills Salon at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, the buzz was about the makeover session of south Indian actor Ileana D8217;Cruz on Friday. The petite actor, who was first spotted in a Fair and Lovely ad with director Rakesh Roshan a few years ago, was rumoured to have had signed a movie opposite Shahrukh Khan. But when D8217;Cruz finally did make her appearance after the last show of the day, she was quick to dispel the rumours. 8220;I don8217;t know how it started but people have been asking me about it. There8217;s not been any talk of any movie with Shahrukh. I wish there was though,8221; sighs the 21-year old, who is a big name in south.

With a host of successful Telugu films to her credit since her debut in YVS Chowdhary8217;s Devadasu in 2006, D8217;Cruz is now looking to break in to Bollywood. But the actor asserts she is in no hurry. 8220;Obviously, it8217;s something that I would like to explore, but I am a firm believer in the adage that there8217;s a right time for everything. Tollywood has been very good to me. So I8217;m happy with the way things have shaped up so far,8221; she says. But when Bollwood comes calling D8217;Cruz has her wish list ready. 8220;The Mumbai film industry has some really good looking actors. I would love to work with Imran Khan or Harman Baweja,8221; she grins.
