RGV had to make changes to the script, says Lakshmi
At the recent Ambareesh Sambhrama in Bangalore, Telugu actor-producer Lakshmi Manchu had a jolly good time in the midst of south film industry biggies like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Rajinikanth and all of Sandalwood. Accompanying her dad Mohan Babu, who is a close pal of the Rebel Star, the actor took time out to speak to TOI about her trip to the city, Sandalwood, her work, and more.
���������Ambi uncle is very close to our family and I just had to be there for the event on Tuesday.

The show was flawless and one of the best organized events I have ever attended. It was amazing to see the entire Sandalwood fraternity dancing for one actor. I doubt if people back home in Hyderabad would do that for anyone,��������� says Lakshmi.
As for her films, Lakshmi says that she has completed two schedules of her Tamil film with director Mani Ratnam. Is she playing a baddie in the film? ���������Not at all! The only film I played a baddie in was in my debut vehicle Anaganaga O Dheerudu. I am also shooting for Maranthen Mannithen with Aadhi and Taapsee,��������� she says.
With three Tamil films in hand, is her focus shifting to Kollywood? ���������No. In fact, I am waiting for offers from the Kannada film industry. I would love to work with Puneet Rajkumar.���������
Her last Bollywood release Department didn���������t really set the cash registers ringing at the BO. ���������A lot of changes were included in the script after the first narration. It���������s unfortunate that director Ram Gopal Varma had to compromise on the script.���������
