Vishakapatnam based actress, Soumya Bollapragada, who was last seen in Mugguru, , is planning to start a film school in Vishakapatnam. While there is no clear idea about her future plans, she hinted about the film school in Twitter, she wrote, “Applause school of film making launching in vizag… Affiliated to ramanaidu film school.”

Apart from films, Soumya is into theatre. She formed a theatre group ‘Applause, the theatre people’ a year ago in the city. The group has staged “Waiting for Godot” and “Alibaba”. They have even conducted a short film competition recently. She also has plans to revive her monthly magazine ‘Evoke’, which she had stopped a few years ago and to foray into direction in future. She will be very soon seen in Shankar Marthand’s directorial Poga.  She had recently directed an English film which was written by Kona Venkat and is keen on directing more films.
