Maina Amala Paul aka Anaka rocks with Seeyan Vikram and Kalavaani Vimal

She is not gorgeous like Aishwarya Rai. She doesn’t have the irresistible alluring appeal that most young heroines present in the industry have. But Amala Paul has a girl-next-door face and well-endowed assets for which Keralites are especially known for. She first signed 'Veerasekaran' in her original name, Amala Paul, but she debuted as Anaka in Sindhu Samaveli. Though her portrayal in Sindhu Samaveli was appreciated by critics, the film failed at the box office as the story line was labelled as controversial. After the anonymous calls giving her ‘death threats’, she reverted to her original name Amala Paul from Mynaa.

Though Mynaa was a low budget film, it created great expectation among audiences as it was highly appreciated by Kamal Hassan and Director Bala during its audio launch and it has been promoted well by Udhayanidhi Stalin. Mynaa, released on this Diwali, has been the only film that registered success at the box office and met the expectations of the public. Amala Paul’s realistic portrayal in Mynaa was well received not only by the audience and critics but also by the Kollywood directors and actors.

Vikram, who watched Mynaa with his family, praised Amala Paul’s performance highly and recommended her for his forthcoming film, Deiva Magan. News says Amala Paul will be portraying Vikram’s wife role in the film in the flashback segment. Originally Meera Jasmine was to play the role but Director Vijay, who tasted his first success in Madharasapattinam, was deeply impressed by the performance of Amala Paul in Mynaa and booked her for Deiva Magan. Anushka would be playing the lead role of an advocate who helps the mentally challenged Vikram to rescue his 7 years old daughter.

‘Kalavaani’ fame director Sargunam also booked Amala Paul for his next film opposite Vimal. News says more directors are approaching Amala Paul for her call sheet. Despite criticisms for her portrayal in Sindhu Samaveli, Amala Paul didn’t stop but continued her journey and proved her mettle as an actress through Mynaa which is now yielding her rich dividends!
