Now I see it clear the version in the movie is taken from Abhinaya Darpanam.

Avnipriya, is this not part of the bhUmi pUjA that some dancers offer before the start of a performance?

In Abhinaya Darpanam by P.S.R. Appa Rao (page 42)

Here it states :
viSHNu shakti samutpannE chitravarNE mahitalE l
anEkaratna sampannE bhUmidEvI namOstu tE ll
samudravasanE dEvI parvatasthana maNDalE l
nATyam karishyE bhUdEvI pAdaghAtam kSHamasva mE ll

If no typo in my transliteration, I want to know the meaning of this shloka.

viSHNu shakti samutpannE - Born of Vishnu's power; chitravarNE mahitalE - Multi hued are your surfaces
anEkaratna sampannE - Bejewelled with many gems; bhUmidEvI namOstu tE - Salutations to you, BhUmi dEvi!

Samudra-vasane devi! - O ocean-robed goddess! ; Parvatha-stana-mandale! - The mountain ranges are your bosoms. (mandithe is also correct)
Vishnu-patni namastubhyam - Salutations, O wife of ViShnu, OR Natyam karOmi bhUdevi - I am going to dance,
PAdasparsham Kshamasva mE - Forgive my treading (upon) you OR PAdaghAtam Kshamasva mE - Forgive me for the injury(ghAtam) caused by my stepping (on you)

NAtyam karishyE is not correct as it breaks the rule for prosody (CChanda) Either the vishnupatni... phrase is to be used or say KarOmi(present tense) instead of KarishyE(future tense)

Thanks Keerthi for translation and information.

Some version says " Natyam Karishya Bhudevi "

Grammatically, Karishye and Karishya have the same meaning ?
