For those who are wondering who Lakshmipriya Chandramouli is, here is everything we know about her.

Who is Lakshmipriya Chandramouli?

Lakshmipriyaa Chandramouli was born into a Tamil household. She worked as an HR specialist for a corporate organisation after earning her master's from the Madras School of Social Work.

Chandramouli began working with a theatre company Evam because she wanted to explore "something more artistic." She described it as "a great platform where I could readily discover how things transitioned from paper to performance," even though she was never able to participate in their performances due to her busy job schedule.

Magizh Thirumeni, the director of the movie Mundhinam Paartheney, approached her as she was selling tickets for one of Evam's plays and asked her to play a supporting role. She took a leave of absence from her job to film the movie for ten days.

She auditioned for a part in the TV series Dharmayudham, and got a chance to act and collaborate with director K. Balachander. After this, she decided to devote her full time to acting. She resigned from her position and went to audition for many different characters.

The black comedy Sutta Kadhai was her first Telugu movie in a leading role. Positive reviews were given to her performance as a tribal woman Silanthi in the movie, which also required her to pull off stunts. After debuting in a Telugu movie, she made her acting debut in Malayalam films in 2014 with Angels.

She has appeared in several films like Malupu, Kalam, Ayynoorum Ayynthum, Ticket, Richie and Cold Case.
