Bhanu Priya was the dancing sensation of the South. Studying dance
professionally she communicated her deep love for it by being selected
for a film role while still at school when the renowned Tamil Director,
"Bharathi Raja came to see her. Being so confident of her dancing
prowess and acting capabilities after screen-test he gave her a role in
Mella Pesina.
Her acting matches her dance abilities when given [performance oriented
roles. Bhanu Priya acted as a dignified elderly house-wife in
Pedaruyuda and thinks such roles should be grabbed at the first offer
and the role she was offered in Annamaya which the production unit
thought that only she would justify. But there was a huge gap in her
film-career when she was at the top place in the "Tollywood" especially
due to her sheer fault that instead of building her career which wasso colorful, she got attracted to the Bollywood's offers and that's
precisely where she erred being downgraded against competition which
were less interested in her dance skills. 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 institution for the youth.
