Glamorous Mumtaz is slimmer and back to work

Chennai, June 25 (IANS) Tamil actress Mumtaz, who is known for her sizzling item numbers, is back in action and has lost oodles of weight too.

'After 'Veerachamy', many in the industry had written me off. I had taken a brief sabbatical not without a valid reason. I personally felt that I looked fat and ugly. I wasn't getting many offers and whatever offer came my way didn't translate into actual chances once the director/producer saw my physique. So I took it up as a challenge and shed 21 kilos,' said Mumtaz.

She is now flooded with offers after her performance in 'Rajadhi Raja', in which her character had shades of grey, and of course, her newly-acquired fabulous figure.

'The offers are so many that I now have the liberty to choose or reject from those offers,' she added.
