Kalyani N is an Indian film actress who has appeared in supporting roles in Tamil & 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. Her upcoming projects include Victor Jayaraj's directorial debut Vinodhan and the Vijay starrer Theri.
