Lakshmi Rai hailing from Belgaum district of Karnataka is as sweet as ‘Kundha’ the prominent sweet of that border area. She is ‘Minchu’ – lightning in ‘Minchina Ota’ - the ‘Ota’ - run is made by siblings Vijay Raghavendra and Murali. This film is all about chase to live and live to chase!

Looking very beautiful, soft, sensible in her attitude and beautiful in her costume designing on the muhurut day ‘Minchina Ota’ Lakshmi Rai is coming back to Kannada after ‘Snehana Preethina’. She has two assignments on hand in Kannada. She has adjusted her dates of ‘Kareye Kogile Madhavana’ Kannada film of director Krishnamurthy Nadig to ‘Minchina Ota’.

I have rejected quite a few offers in Kannada because of substance in it. This one is very promising and it is a meaty role. Director Ramesh came to me and handed over the CD of his film ‘Cyanide’. I have seen the film and learnt about the strong team of this film. I felt it is the right project. The songs are also good. Three years ago before ‘Valmiki’ she had met me and I had really forgotten it disclosed Sa.Ra.Govindu present at the media meet on Monday morning.

Flourishing her career in other languages of South India Lakshmi Rai has signed a call sheet for K.Sarasari Productions Hindi project. She has two offers in Tamil. She would take up all these assignments after finishing two Kannada projects.
