The elegant beauty Melanie Kannakoda, who was seen in the movie 'Love, Lies and Seeta', has bagged her first Telugu movie titled 'My Two Cents'.

Apparently, the actress was in Hyderabad for the promotions for her debut movie when the makers of the new project approached her with an offer to play the lead in it.

It was her performance in her debut that impressed the crowd and hence they wanted her to be a part of their new project. Melanie read the scripts and was instantly excited and decided to go for it.

It was told that a local was suppose to be doing the film, but since the character is that of an N.R.I., Kannakoda was the best to fit the bill.

When asked about joining the Bollywood industry, Melanie said, "I haven’t really planned anything. I am not dying to work in Bollywood or for that matter, even Tollywood. That’s because I am not looking at movies just for money. I am only looking at good work. I have a few Hollywood projects too. So, a Bollywood film has to be really good to take me away from my Hollywood career".

Well, let us see how things go for Melanie from here on.
