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 latest role in the film Pisaasu, where she was seen playing the role of the mother of the protagonist, was highly appreciated.[6][7] Her upcoming projects include Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam written by Selvaraghavan and directed by his wife Gitanjali Selvaraghavan and the Tamil remake of the Malayalam sleeper hit Shutter directed by editor Anthony.
