Actress Shammu is on cloud number nine these days, for her recent film Kanchivaram has won several awards and received good reviews from several eminent film critics throughout the world. The actress states that she is quite lucky to have got a chance to debut in Dasavathaaram, the magnum opus of Kamal Haasan. Though she thought this is the best thing to happen in her career, it got even better when she was got a chance to act as the heroine of Kanchivaram, a Priyadarshan film.
“I could not have asked for more. I got red carpet welcome whichever film festival Kanchivaram was invited to. Getting such a recognition in the very second film is something really rare” says Shammu. The young lady also points out that she is the fourth heroine that Priyadarshan has introduced so far, the other three heroines being Tabu, Jyotika and Trisha. She hopes to achieve the status of these heroines.

Lady Luck has been always smiling on Shammu, an NRI whose native is Neivelli and moved to Chennai last year. For she always dreamt of acting in movies and the days when she would share the screen with her matinee idol Kamal Haasan. One day her daydream came true when K.S. Ravikumar gave her a small role in Dasavatharam! The advice that K.S.R gave also proved to be beneficial; he had asked her to get a profile done by a renowned photographer and one day when she was browsing through her own portfolio, Mayilu director spotted her and requested her to show the profile. Voila! She was offered her the lead role immediately. Prakash Raj who is also the producer of Mayilu was quite impressed with her and recommended her to Priyadarshan. That is how she got a chance to act in Kanchivaram. Looks like Lady Luck set off some pleasant chain reaction in her life! Now the young lady is acting in her fifth film, Matthi Yosi. She has already completed her work in Mayilu and Malayan.
