After Jwala, Humpy eyes movies

Looks like all roads lead to Tollywood these days. It's a known fact that the connection between sports and films is inevitable. It's not uncommon for sport stars to eye films to up their glamor quotient.

After badminton player Jwala Gutta decided to make her film debut with an item song in Telugu cinema, the next on the list is none other than our very own chess champ Koneru Humpy.

Talking to media in Visakhapatnam, the chess player expressed her interest to join the movies. Humpy said she would like to act in films. "I am planning to set up a wait lifting coaching academy in Vishaka," she added.
