Madhu Shalini does a dare bear act

The film industry is one place where getting one breakthrough is like bagging a jackpot prize. And this is more in the case of heroines. Usually, there has been a divide between those who are part of small screen circuit and silver circuit but slowly those barriers are vanishing and those who were seen as anchors or small time serial actresses are becoming regulars in films.

Right now, the hot topic in filmnagar is about one girl who started her career as a TV anchor and is currently gearing up to scorch the screens with her semi nude acts. She is none other than Madhu Shalini and reports say that this Telugu girl is all set to shed her inhibitions in the new movie ‘Department’.

A source revealed “Of course, this is Madhu’s biggest movie of her life. After struggling in the industry for so many years, she has got something useful so she is making the best use of it.” Buzz is that Madhu is essaying the role of a lady gangster in the film and she will be seen smoking, drinking and flaunting her beautiful curves.

With ‘Department’ gearing up for release in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, this is working as a strong platform for Madhu to project herself.
