Rajan’s upcoming project is about to hit the ground by the top of the year. However, it won’t mark Gamya’s Bollywood debut. The girl has already done an item number for an upcoming musical drama.
Gamya adds, “I don't have any qualms about performing an item song as I’m a trained dancer within the Sri Lankan dance type of Kandyan — that's very theatrical in nature — for over 15 years now. So it’s actually numerous fun but on the same time, I don’t need to be typecast as an item girl.”
After winning the sweetness queen title in her native country, Gamya was receiving offers from the local film industry but nothing excited her enough to sign the dotted lines.
Country calls
On being asked whether she is in contact with compatriot Jacqueline Fernandez, Gamya says she hasn’t met her yet. “I haven’t even spoken to her though I’d like to. It’s really an inspiration to peer someone out of your own country doing well within the Hindif film industry, ” she further adds.
