Priyanka, who made her debut in Veyyil, is making slow and steady progress in her career. In an industry where actresses land up with meaningless or unimportant roles even if they possess excellent acting skills, Priyanka has been extremely lucky that her acting skills got noticed and she has been getting heroine-centric films. The quest for heroine-centric roles took this talented actress to Mollywood, where she got a chance to act in Vilambam, the poignant tale of a gang-raped girl and her fight for justice. The film has not yet been released in India, but has been screened at several international film festivals where it was critically acclaimed by international film critics and pundits.
Vilambam has made everyone in the industry take notice of Priyanka’s acting skills and her ability to carry an entire film on her shoulders. The film has done a world of good to Priyanka’s career. Though it has an impressive lineup of stars like Thilakan, Biju Menon and Suhasini, the focus is always on Priyanka and there are only two scenes in which she does not appear, which is something quite rare for a heroine! Following this, she has bagged meaty roles in Samasta Keralam PO Post opposite Jayaram and Bhoomi Malayalam.
Not just Malayalam films, Priyanka has also secured a prominent role in Vanam Partha Seemaiyile (Tamil). The film, whose audio will be released soon, is considered as a catapult that will elevate Priyanka’s status in Kollywood.
Priyanka says she is not in a hurry at all and she would rather wait for a meaningful film role rather than to work in some run-of-the-mill movie. Her work in Vilambam has convinced everyone that she is an actress of immense talent and soon, Kollywood should give her a perfect platform to showcase her skills.
