[edit]Early life

Priyamani was born in Palakkad, Kerala to Vasudeva Mani and Latha Mani. She grew up in Bangalore. After completing her schooling, Priyamani modeled for print advertisements.

She is currently pursuing a degree in B.A. in psychology. Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is her cousin.[2][3]

[edit]Career

[edit]Early career

After her debut film Kangalal Kaidhu Sei, her Telugu debut, Evare Atagaadu, sank without a trace. Priyamani then made her debut in the Malayalam film industry, where she starred opposite Prithviraj in Satyam, but this film also performed poorly at the box office. Despite these commercial failures, she was signed by Tamil film director and cinematographer Balu Mahendra to star opposite Dhanush in the 2005 drama Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam. She won tremendous acclaim for her performance, but the film's under-performance meant that box office success still eluded her. In 2006, Priyamani starred opposite Jagapathi Babu in Pellaina Kothalo. The film was a surprise hit given its low budget and modest star cast, and it propelled Priyamani to fame in Tollywood.
