If you liked Priyamani's acting in the second season of The Family Man, and wish to see more of her performances, we have you covered. Here are five films where Priyamani shined as a performer.
Actor Priyamani's performance in the recently released Amazon Prime Video's The Family Man 2 is receiving appreciation from all sides. And she couldn't have asked for a better gift as she celebrates her 37th birthday today. Priyamani may be a relatively new face for audiences in North India, having done a few Hindi films earlier. But, in the South, she has carved a niche for herself as a powerhouse artist.
Born and raised in Bengaluru, Priyamani is a household name in the south of India. She made her acting debut in 2003 with Evare Athagadu. And she has since acted in several Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films.
If you liked Priyamani's performance in the second season of The Family Man, and want to see more of her performances, we've got you covered. Here are five films where Priyamani shone as a performer.
Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam
The film about star-crossed lovers is written and directed by iconic filmmaker Balu Mahendra. It stars Priyamani as a domestic help who falls in love with Dhanush, who is technically her boss. And due to a series of poor decisions from the characters, things take an ugly turn. This is a very important film in Priyamani's career as it established her as a talent to watch.
Paruthiveeran
Priyamani did a great job in this film. The film, written and directed by Aamir, marked the acting debut of Karthi as the lead actor. It became a surprise hit at the box office when it was released in 2007. It received great reviews from critics. In this film Priyamani was a revelation as a girl from a remote village who is hopelessly in love with a drug addict. His performance in this film was so good that he won the prestigious National Award for acting.
Ninaithale Inikkum
The 2009 film is a remake of the Malayalam hit Classmates. Priyamani manages to leave a mark with her performances in the cast including Prithviraj, Shakti Vasudevan and Kartik Kumar among all others. The film is a story of regret, revenge, redemption and forgiveness.
Golimaar
Priyamani can excel not only in intense roles, but also in characters who are easy in mind. She plays a quintessential heroine in Puri Jagannadh's high-voltage masala entertainer, which stars Gopichand in the lead. She also shows off her dancing chops in this film.
Raavanan
Priyamani gets very less screen time in this Mani Ratnam film, which is based on Ramayana. And yet she leaves a solid mark in her performance as a modern-day Shoorpanakha in the film. And when it comes to acting, she sheds real tears with Vikram.
