As a diehard fansite of Lakshmi Rai, we would like to object to the highlighted text below. First of all she was not a struggling actress prior to the recent double success. She is the queen of Malayalam cinema. Secondly the article talks as if Dhaam Dhoom is the only significant movie in Lakshmi's career. Even if the website is talking only about Tamil films, we beg to differ. Of-course no one is denying that Dhaam Dhoom is an important movie in her film career. Lakshmi herself acknowledged that. However in male dominated film industry her contributions at Vellithirai, Irumbu kottai Murattu Singam, Vamanan are unique and highly appreciated. These movies are milestones in her career and proved that she will be able to handle diversified roles.
Now with this note, let's get to the news :)
From nowhere, actress Lakshmi has managed to strike a deadly double blow. No, we aren’t talking about any assault she made; it’s only that she has just had two back-to-back hits in ‘Kanchana’ and ‘Mankatha’. Till a few months back, Lakshmi Rai was struggling with no significant hit to her credit except for a significant role in the hit film ‘Dhaam Dhoom’ which had ‘Jayam’ Ravi and Bollywood’s Kangna Ranaut in lead roles.
Things changed dramatically when Anushka opted out of Lawrence’s ‘Kanchana’ and Lakshmi Rai was drafted in as the heroine. The film, which recently crossed 50 days, has become a phenomenal hit all over Tamil Nadu and the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Without an iota of doubt, the film’s success has surely upped Lakshmi Rai’s stakes in Kollywood and Tollywood.
As if that wasn’t enough, Lakshmi Rai has also played a small but significant role in Ajith’s latest landmark film ‘Mankatha’, which has also been declared hit by the trade pundits. The press was lavish in its praise that the film showed Lakshmi Rai like never before as her ‘true beauty’ was visible in the film. For some reasons, though, Lakshmi has decided to have some ‘hiatus’ from starring in Tamil films.
The actress surprised many by her portrayal of the ‘vamp’ in Mankatha and just when producers and directors are queueing outside her house to sign her up for their films, news about her reported ‘hiatus’ from Kollywood comes. The reason given by the actress is that she has a handful of Kannada, Malayalm and Telugu films and can come back to Tamil films only after completing all her pending assignments.
She feels that this ‘break’ would make her fans yearn for her presence in films. If it happens that way, it’d be alright; but what would Lakshmi do if the notion that ‘out of sight, out of mind’ becomes true?
