Srikanth all for Shankar's approval

It���������s been a hectic week for Srikanth. Shooting continuously for none other than Shankar���������s Nanban, the Tamil remake of the Hindi blockbuster 3 Idiots, in different parts of the city with Vijay and Jiiva, and living up to the director���������s expectations is not an easy job. But the actor says getting a nod of approval from Shankar and seeing the way the film has shaped up till now more than make up for the demanding work.
���������We���������re currently shooting a few college sequences in the city in Victoria hostel. Our art director has changed the face of this place ��������� he has erected huge statues and painted the entire campus. We have even grown a garden for a song sequence. I���������m excited about this film because work is progressing smoothly and there���������s a satisfaction of doing quality work,��������� says Srikanth excitedly, as he sips black coffee from his TOI Collectable mug, that���������s part of the funky range of merchandise brought out recently by the Times Group in association with Archies.
���������Do you know what keeps me, or rather, most actors, going? A tall mug of rich coffee! We shoot at odd hours; sometimes, continuously for days together. And nothing to keep us awake than a good mug of coffee,��������� he smiles.
Srikanth quickly gets back on track and says, ���������My portion gets over by August 15 and I���������m simultaneously dubbing for my character as well. Shankar is looking to release the film during Deepavali. After this, I will resume work on Ramkumar���������s Ethiri En 3. It���������s a crime thriller in which I play a techie. Ram was inspired by a real life incident and has weaved a story around it.���������
While Srikanth is busy with his shooting schedule, he takes time out to relax with his TOI Collectables that include a range of products from mugs and clocks to cool tees. The TOI Collectables are available in the city at Archies Gallery stores and at www.archiesonline.com
