Priyamani act as Soorpanakha in Raavan

She is better known as the hot actress of film ‘Drona’ who donned bikini and dazed many down south. A national award winner Tamil actress and Vidya Balan’s cousin, Priyamani will soon make her Bollywood debut with Mani Ratnam’s movie Raavan.

The sultry actress gets to play a important character of Raavan ’s sister Soorpanakha. A source revealed that, “Mani’s production team initially approached the South top actress Nayantara for the role of Soorpanakha but she refused.”

In fact, many top Bollywood actresses were approached for the role of Raavan’ sister, whose nose and ears were severed by Laxman, but all refused because no one seem interested to play Abhishek Bachchan’s (Raavan) sister, as per sources.

Priyamani will play Soorpanakha in both Tamil and Hindi versions, just like Aishwarya Rai is playing Sita in both the versions.
