Priya Vasudev Mani Iyer or Priyamani will make her second Bollywood appearance in RGV's Rakta Charitra, opposite Vivek Oberoi and fellow South star Suriya.
This southern-belle is best known for her National Award-winning performance in the 2006 Tamil film Paruthi Veeran, opposite south Indian actor Suriya's younger brother, Karthi Sivakumar.
This hottie from down south showed off her talent once again when she won huge critical acclaim in 2008 for her role in the Malayalam film Thirakkatha.
The same year, she appeared in the Tamil Ninaithale Inikkum, a remake of Malayalam blockbuster Classmates. It was her third outing opposite Prithviraj and the movie was a modest success.
Priyamani has been much awarded in her short career winning the National Award, Filmfare and Tamil Nadu State Award for Best Actress. She also won an award at the Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema.
However, her biggest project, before the RGV venture, has been Mani Ratnam's bilingual film Raavan, alongside Suriya, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
