Kalyani N is an Indian film actress who has appeared in supporting roles in Tamil and Telugu films. She made her debut in Kollywood portraying a pivotal role in Saivam, later following it up with a contemporary mother's role in Pisaasu.
Career
Kalyani began her acting career as a Tamil theatre actress in Mumbai.[1][2] After a few advertisement assignments, she made her transition to films. Her debut role on the big screen was a cameo in the Tamil movie Settai (which was a remake of Delhi Belly). She went on to perform the role of Imran Khan's sister-in-law in Dharma Productions' Gori Tere Pyaar Mein.[3]
However, what gave a boost to her career was her performance as Nassar's daughter Meenakshi in the 2014 release Saivam,[4][5] which won her a lot of acclaim. Her role in the film Pisaasu, where she was seen playing the role of the mother of the protagonist, was highly appreciated.[6][7] In 2015, she played Sathyaraj's wife in Oru Naal Iravil - Tamil remake of the Malayalam sleeper hit Shutter - directed by editor Anthony.
Her first release of 2016 was Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam written by Selvaraghavan and directed by his wife Gitanjali, in which she played a cancer patient. She made her Telugu debut in the Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer Dictator which released on Sankaranti day. Later that year, she played a doctor in the Vijay starrer Theri. Her upcoming projects include Remo starring Sivakarthikeyan, Mupparimanam starring Shanthanu Bhagyaraj and Victor Jayaraj's directorial debut Vinodhan.
