Director Hari has carved a niche for himself to launch new talents time and again in Kollywood. Sometime back he introduced us with Nayantara with ‘Ayya’. For his forthcoming film ‘Thamirabarani’, he is launching another actress who is a look-alike of Nayantara from the regions of Kerala. She is none other than ‘Banu’ who debuted in Malluwood last year with the film ‘Achan Urangatha Veedu’. She is very excited about her debut in Kollywood with director Hari’s film. She will be paired opposite Vishal in the film. Other actors in the film are Vijayakumar, Prabhu and Nadhiya.

Banu says, “It is a dream come true debut for me. Starring opposite a popular actor like Vishal in the direction of Hari is a double delight for me. Noted Malayalam director Lal Jose spotted me in a cultural show. He assigned me an important character in Achan Urangatha Veedu. The movie won critical acclaims. Hari happened to see the movie and assigned me the lead role opposite Vishal. I learnt a lot working with the veterans in the film. They were very helpful and helped me perform well on the screen,” she adds.
