Sivaji was the movie that moved Shriya to new levels. Since then she has been scaling one peak after another. The year 2008 has so far been a tremendous one for the actress for she has seen her career take an upward swing.

Shriya has completed shooting for 'Kanthaswamy' opposite Vikram. It is a magnum opus directed by Susi Ganesan. She is almost wounding up the shoot for Sarathy Kumar starrer 'Jaggubhai' and Deepa Mehta's film 'Who's Cooking, Stella?' What more, she has been signed up for Deepa Mehta's next film too, titled 'Komagata Maru'.

She has also been roped in to act in a movie with Dhanush later next year. Besides, She's also in 'Thoranai' with Vishal.

She is pinning lots of hopes on Kanthaswamy. She says, ' I have given my cent percent dedication for the movie. The whole unit has worked hard. Especially, I was impressed with Vikram's dedication to excel in his role and it was cool working with him'.
