Not many know that Amala Paul, who made people sit up and take notice with her performance in ‘Mynaa’, entered the Tamil film industry last year with a movie titled ‘Veerasekaran’.

“Yes, it was her debut flick. But she hogged attention with a controversial role in ‘Sindhu Samaveli’. And the recent release ‘Mynaa’ has made her a hot property in Kollywood,” sources close to her say.

Now, the actress is part of big projects, including a film opposite Vikram and ‘Vettai’, the Arya-Madhavan starrer, directed by Lingusamy.

“She is excited about the way her career is shaping up,” sources add. “In school, she used to watch Vikram’s films and was a big fan of him. Hardly she imagined that she would share the screen space with him one day,” they say and add: “Her role in ‘Vettai’ too is so meaty.”
