1/5

The South diva is a beautiful actress, fabulous dancer and strong individual

In less than five years since her game-changing debut as the ravishing Malar in ‘Premam’, Sai Pallavi created a niche for herself in South cinema by choosing meaningful roles in content-driven films. After being the muse in Alphonse Puthren’s flick, she displayed her charm in Sameer Thahir’s Kali as the calm and composed Anjali. Surprising everyone by taking a break at a crucial juncture to pursue her MBBS, Pallavi returned to the glamour arena with Sekhar Kammula’s Telugu film ‘Fidaa’ in 2017. She bagged glowing praises for her brilliant portrayal as Bhanumati and stole the show completely with her arresting screen-presence.

Despite hailing from a non-filmy background, the talented starlet worked her way into the top courtesy her flawless emoting skills and ability to pick solid scripts. Keeping the fame and stardom aside, Sai Pallavi manages to live in her own private space with family members. With a series of projects in multiple languages like Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam, the 26-year-old is in no mood to slow down. However, she hopes to become a cardiologist one day.

Incredible Dancer and Child Actor

Not many know that Sai Pallavi appeared in uncredited roles as a child actress in a couple of Tamil films; Kasthuri Maan (2005) and Dhaam Dhoom (2008). Upon completion of her formal education in Coimbatore, she went to Georgia and pursued her MBBS Degree in a popular Medical University. The ‘NGK’ actress is not trained in any form of dance. However, she used to participate in several cultural events at school and gain popularity as a fast dancer. With solid support from her mother, Sai Pallavi went professional and moved her body in a couple of TV reality shows, before concentrating on her education.

3/5

Breath-taking Debut in Malayalam Cinema

While pursuing her MBBS in Tbilisi, the PPLM diva received a call from director Alphonse Putharen who requested her to play Malar’s role in ‘Premam’. At first, she doubted whether it was a filmmaker or stalker. After frequent discussions, the natural beauty finally signed the dotted line and finished her shooting parts during holidays. Speaking about ‘Premam’, Sai Pallavi stated that she was very much nervous about her looks and skin tone. However, the director convinced the debutante belle and instilled confidence in her. Nivin Pauly also helped her in pronouncing the dialogues in Malayalam.

Show-stealer in her maiden Tollywood outing

After wrapping up her professional education in Georgia, Sai Pallavi returned to India and started to shoot for her maiden Telugu film with sensitive director Sekhar Kammula. Titled ‘Fidaa’, the romantic comedy released to an overwhelming response from the viewers both in the Telugu states and the US. With a refreshing screen-presence and dazzling performance, the ravishing belle stole the show as the headstrong Bhanumati and nailed it with her Telangana accent. Her emoting skills are flawless, to say the least, and she successfully managed to bag big opportunities in the coming days.

5/5

Presently, a Hot Property in South Cinema

Sai Pallavi is a hot cake at the present moment and filmmakers from all languages are craving to cast her as the leading lady. After romancing Nani in MCA and delivering a fantastic show in ‘Padi Padi Leche Manasu’, the beautiful actress is presently playing the female lead opposite Suriya in NGK. Her mesmerising dance moves with Dhanush in ‘Rowdy Baby’ song have garnered a humongous response from the global audience. According to reports, she refused to accept her full remuneration for PPLM, expressing solidarity with the producers for the film’s failure.
