Actress Priyamani Latest Sexy Picture Gallery

Paruthiveeran and the future
After three years in search of a film that would get her noticed, Priyamani managed to prove her acting credentials and commercial appeal with the 2007 film Paruthiveeran, directed by the Tamil director Ameer Sultan, in which she was paired with debutant Karthi Sivakumar. A rural subject which told the story of a notorious young villager in Madurai, the film won tremendous critical acclaim and also became a surprise box-office blockbuster. Priyamani's performance was unanimously praised and she went on to win the National Film Award, followed by a South Filmfare Award, a Tamil Nadu State Film Award and an award at the Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema. She had another blockbuster in Telugu, opposite Jr. NTR in the 2007 film Yamadonga and opposite Vishal in the Tamil film Malaikottai.

She again received critical acclaim in 2008 for her role in the Malayalam film Thirakkatha, in which she played a role based on the turbulent real-life story of late film actress Srividya.[3] She won another Filmfare Award for her performance in the film.[4]

In 2009 she had two Tamil releases, the commercial entertainer Arumugam and the Tamil remake of the Malayalam blockbuster Classmates, titled Ninaithale Inikkum, in which she was paired for the third time with Prithviraj. The former was a commercial failure, while the latter was considered a moderate success. Her Kannada debut opposite actor Puneet Rajkumar in Raam was also a commercial success. All three of her Telugu releases that year, however, did not do well at the box office.
[edit] Upcoming projects

Her biggest project in the pipeline happened when she was hired by the ace Indian director Mani Ratnam for his bilingual film, titled Raavanan and Raavan in Tamil and Hindi respectively.[5] Soon after, she was roped in by Bollywood director-producer Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) for his big-budget trilingual film Rakht Charitra starring Vivek Oberoi and Surya Sivakumar. RGV decided to cast her in the film after seeing her National Award-winning performance in Paruthiveeran.[6]

She was chosen along with her friend, actress Sneha, to promote the Chennai Marathon.

Priyamani has her eyes on Bollywood. After enthralling audiences with her performances , she has become quite a buzz in B-town as we hear that shehas already been offered a few Bollywood masala films. However, Priyamani has been quite picky when it comes to choosing roles and is taking it easy.

Priyamani's next is the Tamil version of Ram Gopal Varma's film with Vivek Oberoi. She plays Bhavani, South sensation Suriya's love interest, in the film. Talking about how she landed the role, the actress says, "Ramu ( Ram Gopal Varma) had seen me in Paruthiveeran and thought I would be apt to play Bhavani. When he tried to reach me, I was shooting in Langkawi with Puri (Jagganath sir) for a Telugu film.

Ramu and Puri are good friends and he had told Puri sir about the film. When Puri sir told me about Ramu's call, I was really excited. I adjusted my dates for another film to be a part of this film." Priyamani hasn't signed any Tamil film recently though her hands are full with Telugu and Kannada films. But the actress says she is eager to do more films in Kollywood. "My last release was Raavanan and now, I have this. I'm more than willing to do a straight Tamil film, but I haven't been offered any solid roles till now. I don't want to do a film here just for the sake of doing one. I want to do films that I will be proud of. I will gladly do another rural-based film like Paruthiveeran because it got me acclaim," she says. Yeah, and a National Award too!

For Priyamani, the weightage of her character in a film seems to be more important than the length of it. As the actress is not worried about appearing in ‘short roles’ in her last two films- ‘Raavanan’ and ‘Raththa Charithiram’.

“It is true that both these films didn’t have me in full-fledged roles. But I was able to attract the attention of many only with these two ventures,” the actress, who has now entered Bollywood too, says.

Priyamani adds: “Also, it is a dream come true for any actor in these parts to be part of Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma projects. It is doubly so for me since I am a big fan of both filmmakers.”

In Tollywood, she is eagerly expecting the release of ‘Ragada’, which has top actor Nagarjuna playing the protagonist. “It is an interesting script and acting with Nagarjuna is an exciting experience,” the actress says.
