The Hottest Southie Siren of 2008
Nayantara
Charmme
Nayanthara, undoubtedly, has been the hottest actress down South. She has had her presence felt in almost all the south Indian languages. Though the much hyped Rajni-starrer 'Kuselan', Ajit film 'Aegan' and Vishal flick 'Satyam' ('Salute' in Telugu) failed to enthuse the B.O., the Mallu siren's market remained buoyant.
ShriyaShriya signed several Bollywood and Kollywood flms, this year. She has also acted in a Hollywood film, 'The Other End of the Line'. Her much hyped Hindi film, 'Mission Istanbul', was a colossal flop. The dare-bare actress is doing 'Kanthasami' opposite Vikram, 'Thoranai' with Vishal and 'Kadhir'.
Charmme
Charmme's Tamil flick, 'Laddam', has become a hit this year mainly due to her titillating songs. Its Telugu dubbed version, '16 Days' has also been successful. Her sizzling item song with Tarun in 'Bhale Dongalu' has been received very well. She will be making a special appearance in Nagarjuna's forthcoming movie, 'King'.
IleanaIleana was the female lead in 'Jalsa', one of the all-time hits in Telugu, opposite Power Star Pawan Kalyan. She was in the news for rejecting a role in Soundarya Rajnikanth's 'Sultan, the Warrior'.
TamannaahTamannaah Bhatia is often referred to as the next big thing in South India. She already commands a huge fan following and has landed a few good offers from Bollywood.
Anushka Shetty
It has been a terrific year for Anushka Shetty. she was paired against almost all top stars in Tollywood, including Nagarjuna , Ravi Teja, Krishna, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Jagapathi Babu, Venkatesh and Gopichand.

Namitha
Namitha, the hottest of Southie glam dolls, has many reasons to rejoice, this year. She has the whole of South India dancing to her songs. A temple has been built in her name. And now, she has been featured (ninth) on a list of Top 10 most popular mobile search terms on the Net.
MamthaMamtha has set the screens on fire in her latest Tollywood flick, 'Homam'. And the siren is aiming at Bollywood! She wants to be known as a "singing actress. I am an actress now and a singer forever."
Priyamani
Soon after she got the national award, Priyamani acted in an out and out masala film 'Malaikkottai'. She essayed many more glamorous roles, including the one in the Telugu superhit, 'Hare Ram'. She appears in a song for the Nagarjuna biggie, 'King'

Kareena Kapoor is on a high. She is getting one film offer every day and receives more than 300 SMSes daily. The actress says her career has started looking up ever since Saif Ali Khan entered her life.
'This is the best phase in my life. And I feel I'm in a place where I've never
been before.'Commenting upon her career, she said: 'I'm a lucky girl. I'm
being offered one film every day. Normally a Bollywood actress does about
40 days' work. My directors are taking about 100 days with me.
I've already given Karan (Johar) 100 days for his film directed by
Rensil D'Silva.'
'Saif is extremely loving and supportive. In fact, the best phase of my
career started when Saif came into my life. Now he's enjoying this phase
in my life along with me. That makes this phase even more special,'
Kareena told IANS.
Many people gave her relationship with Saif no more than six months.
Reacting to that, Kareena said: 'There's absolutely no room for such
negativity in my life. I only have place for people who are positive and
who make me happy by sharing in my happiness.
Q: People gave your relationship with Saif no more than six months?

place where I've never been before. As an actress I feel everyone and
that includes me, expects things from me that are not generally
expected from Bollywood actresses except maybe Kajol. Or my sister
Karisma.

The only thing I miss is time with my family and Saif. When I finish this

film with Saif. Normally a Bollywood actress does about 40 days' work.
My directors are taking about 100 days with me. I've already given
Karan 100 days for his film directed by Rensil D'Silva.
