Debut, breakthrough and critical acclaim (2015-2016)

In 2014, while she was studying in Tbilisi, Georgia, film-director Alphonse Puthren offered her the role of Malar in his film Premam. She shot the film over the holidays and, after the shooting finished, returned to her studies.[18][19] She went on to win several "Best Female Debut" awards that year, including the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.[20]

Her next project with director A. L. Vijay was Diya,[29] which is a Tamil–Telugu bilingual film and had an average run at the box office.[30] Later, she starred in the Tamil movie Maari 2, a sequel to Maari (2015), opposite Dhanush, directed by Balaji Mohan. A song from the movie, "Rowdy Baby", is the most viewed song in YouTube from South India.[31][32]

Pallavi started shooting in February 2018 for the film Padi Padi Leche Manasu with Sharwanand,[33][34] which was a huge commercial failure.[35] In December, several news outlets reported that she refused to accept her full remuneration, expressing solidarity with the producers for the failure of the film.[36] In 2019, she portrayed an autistic girl in the psychological thriller Athiran opposite Fahadh Faasil.[37]

In 2020, she was recognised by Forbes magazine as one of India's 30 under 30.

In the media


In June 2022 in an interview with GreatAndhra, she commented that the film The Kashmir Files portrayed the killings of Kashmiri Pandits, during the 1990 exodus, and further asked if that is a religious conflict then what should be the difference between itself and cow vigilantism, referring to a recent incident where a Muslim was driving cows was beaten up and later forced to chant "Jai Shri Ram". The interview soon went viral and attracted criticism online. She later issued a clarification statement on her Instagram handle that her statements in the interview were misunderstood, and that she would neither trivialize a tragedy nor be comfortable with mob lynchings.[45][46]
