Once again, it is a Southie bombshell who wins the 'Siren of the Week' crown. Ramya is usually referred to as the golden girl of Sandalwood (the Kannada film industry), for having acted in a number of super hits.
She has worked with almost all the top stars of Kannada (Ganesh, Puneet Rajkumar, Sunil Rao, Sudeep, Murali, Aadithya, Upendra, Dhyan, Vijaya Raghvendra, Dharshan and Prem).
In Tamil, Ramya is known by her real name Divya Spandana. Her last outing in Kollywood was Gautham Menon's 'Vaaranam Aayiram', opposite Suriya.
In the Malayalam movie 'Vismayathumbathu' directed by Fazil, Ramya played the role of a ghost. |
Ramya plays a 14-year-old girl in 'Vaaranam Aayiram'. She says this role was a real challenge and it gave her huge scope to experiment with her looks, gestures and outfits. |
Says Ramya: "After my disastrous debut, It was with 'Thoondil' that I finally got back to Tamil. it was after 'Thoondil' that I signed quite a number of films including Gautham Menon’s 'Vaaranam Aayiram' and 'Pollathavan." |
After the release of her debut film in Tamil, 'Kuthu', opposite Silambarasan, she went on a glam spree. She says she "was only 16 then and am trying to break that image now". |
Dhanush-starrer 'Polladhavan' (2007) gave her the big break in Tamil. The film was a runaway success. |
The movie, 'Amrithadhare' (in which Amitabh Bachchan makes a special appearance), showcased her acting skills, and was one of her recent hits in Kannada. |
The same year, she debuted in Tamil and Telugu, with 'Kuthu' and 'Abhimanyu' respectively. |
In Kannada, Ramya made her debut with 'Abhi' opposite Puneet Rajkumar, in 2003. Directed by Dinesh Babu, the movie became a big hit in Kannada. |
