Career

Riythvika is a native of Salem. She has studied at Justice Basheer Ahmed Sayeed College For Women (SIET) in Teynampet, Chennai.[1]

She said that she had always dreamt of acting in films and that she used to act out scenes and reel out dialogues from films as a child. While studying at SIET, she acted in a number of short films and sent her photos to film PROs, trying for an entry into the cinema industry.[1] During that period, director Bala was casting for his next project, Paradesi, an adaptation of the English novel Red Tea (1969), which delves into the plight of tea plantation workers in the Madras Presidency during the British Raj. After going through a couple of auditions, she was selected to play the role of Karuthakanni, who gets tortured and sexually exploited in the plantations.[1] She went on to act in Vikraman's romance film Ninaithathu Yaaro before being chosen by Pa. Ranjith for Madras. Her portrayal of a North Chennai girl was lauded by critics and she won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress – Tamil besides several nominations.[2][3]

Among her upcoming projects are Oru Naal Koothu that will feature her in the role of an RJ, Engalukku Veru Kilaigal Kidaiyadhu starring Goundamani [4] and Kabali, which sees her collaborating with her Madras director Ranjith and co-starring with Rajinikanth.[5]
