It is customary for every winner at a beauty pageant to set their eyes on cinema for a career. First they eye Bollywood and then Kollywood. There have been a lot of beauty queens who graced Tamil cinema right from Aishwarya Rai days.

The latest beauty queen to set foot in Kollywood is Parvathi Omanakuttan. Yes, the same mallu beauty who was crowned Miss India World in 2008 and later became first runner-up at the Miss World 2008 pageant.

Parvathi made her movie debut in 2009 with the Hindi film Unitex Six. Then she signed her second film ‘Madan Kolli’ in Malayalam directed by Major Ravi. Now she is debuting in Tamil with the film 'Uma Maheswaram' written and directed by the young Nithin Ramakrishna. The soul of the film is said to be the art of Bharathanatyam. Prakash Raj plays an important role in the film.

Madhu Ambat is the cameraman. Santhosh is doing the music of this musical film produced by True Soul.

Bharathanatyam exponent Dr. Padma Subramaniam will officially launch the film in Chennai soon.
