Kannada actor Shuba Punja, who is back after a break, currently has six projects in hand.

"All the offers that are coming my way these days are too good to resist. Each one will see me in a different avatar. So I am unable to say no to the film makers," she explains.

In Parari and Golmal she will try her hand at comedy. In Artha she plays a struggling actress. Meenakshi is a thriller set in the context of the land mafia. There is also Chirayu, which she claims is an intense love story.

Duniya Vijay recently launched his first home production, Jayammana Maga. The film is a "family entertainer", according to the actor.

"From being a nobody, I have grown to the level of becoming a producer and this gives me a sense of achievement," he says.

Jayammana Maga will not only see him as producer but also as lyricist. Vijay has sung a song for one of his earlier films but this is the first time he is writing a song.

The other highlight of the film is that it will introduce the actor's son to tinsel town. Vijay's son, Samarth, will make an appearance in a song that has been written by Yograj Bhat and sung by Vijay himself.

Bharti is the lead actress.

Actor Vijay Raghavendra and actress Haripriya are teaming up for Ranathantra, a thriller. The story revolves around a married couple who go on a holiday where all hell breaks loose.

Just like the actress, the actor, who has had a slow run at the box office, is looking to strike gold with this flick. He has other films on hand too--Ondu Rupayali Eradu Preethi and Enidhu Manasali .

Haripriya is looking forward to the release of Super Shastri. She has some Telugu and Malayalam films in the making too.
