The one name that comes to mind when speaking about celebrity starlets is Lakshmi Manchu. Within a short span, this elegant lady made a mark for herself in the cine circuit and soon she will be seen in the Bollywood circuit through her debut film 'Department'.

Before that is out, here is another one. Lakshmi has been roped in for a Tamil film 'Pookadai' and this would be directed by Mani Ratnam. Now, sources say Lakshmi is leaving no stone unturned to get into the skin of the character and it is heard that she would be seen as a typical Tamil girl.

So, the buzz is that Lakshmi has decided to dub for her own voice and she would be speaking Tamil with the right diction. As such, the pretty lady has got few roots connected to Chennai so she is fluent with the language. Let us see how her preparations to excel in Tamil will work out.
