Acting Entry
Meera Jasmine made her debut in the Malayalam film Soothradharan. Meera Jasmine's Tamil film entry made her a well-known star in the South. The successes of the Tamil film 'Run' and 'Bala' in 2002 gave her the chance to work with the established actors of the Tamil film industry. Meera Jasmine became noted in the Telugu film industry with 'Run', the dubbed version of the same-titled Tamil film. She was in the Telugu films in 2004 with 'Ammayi Bagundi' and 'Gudumba Shankar' but also entered Kannada cinema by co-starring with 'Puneet Rajkumar' in 'Maurya'.
Film Career
Her second malayalam film was 'Gramaphone', directed by 'Kamal', in which she appeared alongside 'Navya Nair' and 'Dileep'. Her role as a Jewish girl was appreciated by Malayalam critics. In 'Padam Onnu Oru Vilapam' She played a 15-year-old Muslim girl who was forced to marry an older man, for which she was awarded a State Award and the National Award in addition with several other awards. It was followed by her performance as Raziya in Perumazhakkalam alongside Kavya Madhavan. In the 2011 film 'Mohabbat', she played the lead role opposite 'Anand Michael' and 'Munna'. After a brief hiatus, she began committing films by late-2012. She was keen in choosing more women-centric roles and in Babu Janardhanan's Lisammayude Veedu, a sequel to the 2006 film Achanurangatha Veedu, her role was that of a serial rape victim. Her latest project is Shajiyem's 'Ms. Lekha Tharoor Kanunnathu', a fantasy film in which she plays a dynamic media person, who unexpectedly starts envisaging happenings that cannot be accepted according to the general perception. Meera Jasmine's biggest commercial success in Telugu remains Bhadra with Ravi Teja in the male lead. Her other Telugu films are Raraju, Maharadhi, Yamagola Malli Modalayindi, Gorintaku and Maa Ayana Chanti Pilladu, in which she is paired for a second time with Sivaji.
