In both the films, she had a less number of screen shots. She gave an explanation about those films to press. When the story that was narrated to me is different from what they take during shots. So, the final film that appears on the screen is in hands of director only not with the heroines.
But my dream film with Mohanlal was true due to this Shikar film. I had very less number of shots in Shikar than Vande Mataram. But Shikar turns out to be super hit. I got new film offers in Malayalam because of Shikar. She said that she loves films like Autograph, Pirivom sandhippom and Achachamundu! Achachamundu! Which gave different character and face to her. She likes to do commercial and class films.
The next film of Sneha is Bhavani IPS which is the remake of Vyjayanthi IPS. This is the first full-length action film for Sneha. She said that my smile is missed in this film and I gave a rough and tough nature on screen.
When I heard about any rumors about me, I used to be pretty cool. In start of my carrier I supposed to feel for this rumors and gossips about me. But now I understood rumors is a part and parcel of being in showbiz.
