Biography - Bhavana

Bhavana is a sensational young south Indian actress who was born in Kerala on 6th June 1986. Her father is Balachandran and mother Pushpa. She has got a brother named Jayadev.

She made her movie debut in Malayalam with 2002 hit movie ‘Nammal’. This movie was directed by director Kamal. She handled a comparatively less important role in the movie but her performance was so groundbreaking that it brought her much praise and became one of the main highlights of the movie.

The great success of her debut movie has made her a teenage sensation in no time and this put her name right into the list of
top young stars of Malayalam movie industry. That wasn’t all; she even won a special jury award for her performance in the
movie.

Winning so much appreciation for a debut movie is a great thing but even from that point many can go down into
oblivion if they fail to deliver success again. But this wasn’t even an option for Bhavana. She did not disappoint her fans and junkies and delivered success again.

In Malayalam she had back to back hits which include ‘CID moosa’, ‘Swapnakkoodu’, ‘Chronic Bachelor’ and ‘Naran’. After her success in Kerala she ventured into Tamil where even bigger success was waiting for her. She was first offered ‘Koodal Nagar’ opposite Bharath in Tamil but was delayed due to some reason unknown. ‘Chithiram Pesuthadi’ is her first released Tamil film and it was a huge hit. Obviously she received countless offers in kollywood after this and she signed a handful of movies which include ‘Kizhakku Kadalkarai Salai’, ‘Veyil’ and ‘Deepavali’. All of these were big hits and her star value skyrocketed.

Her first signed Tamil movie ‘Koodal nagar’ came out his year and she also appeared with Madhavan in his movie ‘Arya’. And her yet another movie with Madhavan is all set to be released towards the end of this year. Recently she turned down a movie offer to act against Simbu saying that she don’t want to be associated with him because of the kind of tainted image he is having now in the industry.
