Sai Pallavi.
Breaking the stereotypes, she is what you call a complete package. She can dance, act, her screen presence makes you forget the hero, she dubs on her own, she can do action scenes. Whatever you call, she can do it, do it with elegance and grace.
Starting with some uncredited roles then Ungalil Yaar Adutha Prabhudeva, Sai Pallavi couldn’t have asked for a better role than Malar.
She swept us all with Malar and it was an addiction beyond borders. People started to look upto her and everyone literally fell in love with the character, with her.
She didn’t stop there. Anjali in Kali is one of the beautiful roles she played. Among all the other following roles, Maari 2 holds a special place mainly because of Rowdy Baby.
I always love Dhanush’s dance. Right from ‘Manmadha Raasa’ time, his dance is like a dope, something that would make our day instantly and in Rowdy Baby, probably, for the first time, I rarely watched Dhanush in the whole song. It was all about Sai Pallavi.
The magic she brought to the song is unbelievably beautiful as well as energetic. Something you would call as jaw dropping.
From trying to be the next Prabhudeva to be in a song that is choreographed by him, Sai Pallavi’s journey is magical.
If her onscreen performances are lovely, the way she doesn’t give a damn about other’s opinion is inspiring.
Cinema Industry is vast and it is difficult to hold on to the beliefs but Sai Pallavi made sure to stand up for herself, for her beliefs even if that means losing crores. She is a role model for many people out there and what makes her more beautiful is the fact that she embraces her vulnerabilities, accepts her flaws rather than trying to mess things up by going behind “perfection” which doesn’t exist.
