Acclaimed actress Jyothika at the peak of her career moved away from cinema after her marriage to Tamil superstar Suriya in 2006. The couple have two children Diya and Dev who are now 15 and 12. A few years back she made a comeback with '36 Vayadhinile' directed by Roshan Andrews which went on to become a blockbuster hit.

For the past seven years Jyothika has featured in mainly female centric films such as 'Naachiyaar', 'Kaatrin Mozhi', 'Ratchasi' and Mani Ratnam's multistarrer 'Chekka Chivantha Vaanam' all of which have been super hits.

It is now reported that Jyothika is in talks for a new Malayalam movie that has Megastar Mammootty in the lead role and is likely to sign the dotted lines soon. The film is directed by Jeo Baby of 'The Great Indian Kitchen' fame and produced by Mammootty himself. If the deal goes through this will be Jyothika's first film with the legendary superstar. Stay tuned for the official updates.
