From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anjali (born 11 September 1982) is a South
Indian film actress and model, who mainly works in the Tamil, Telugu and Kannada
film industries. She is best known for her critically acclaimed
role as Anandhi in the 2007 Tamil film Katradhu Thamizh, which happened to be
her first Tamil film itself and introduced her to the Tamil
audience as an actress.
Career
Anjali was born in Rajamundry in Andhra Pradesh, India and has 2 brothers.
She started her acting career in 2007 with the critically
acclaimed Tamil film Katradhu
Thamizh, directed by Ram, who gave her the opportunity to
star in the film, when she was vainly waiting for an offer in the
Telugu film industry. Though
the film proved to be unsuccessful at the box-office, people took
notice of "Ananthi", the homely girl, which Anjali portrayed in the
film and she garnered critical acclaim, was highly praised [1][2] and was
also nominated for the Filmfare Award for the Best Debut Actress in
Tamil for that year.[3]
In her second film Aayudham Seivom opposite
director-turned-actor Sundar
C., she went for an image makeover, shedding her "homely image"
and enacting a glamorous role with less scope to perform,[4] which
was not well received by the audience as it was a surprise and
shock as opposed to her first film, in which she gave an impressive
performance.[5]
Currently, Anjali is working on five films simultaneously,[6]
including Angaadi Theru, directed by Vasanthabalan, who
earlier directed the National Film
Award winning Tamil film, Veyyil, and Rettai Suzhi, in
which she will be sharing screen with veteran directors Bharathiraja and K. Balachandar.[7]
