Lakshmi Manchu wants Oscar

Producer-actress Lakshmi Manchu, who won the Nandi Award 2011 for the Best Villain in her role as 'Irendri' in Anaganaga Oo Dheerudu, has two ambitions. The actress said in an interview that she wants to bag an Oscar award in her life time and to pen a book comprising her experiences. Responding to a question why she preferred an Oscar which even a great actor like Kamal Hassan openly refused to have interest in, Lakshmi said: "That may be his individual opinion, May be he don't want Oscar, but I want it!". Lakshmi also expressed her desire to write an autobiography in future, covering all her experiences as an actor and a producer in the tinsel town.
