Remember the intense eyed girl with long hair who acted in Mani Ratnam's Amrutha (Kannathil Muthamittaal in Tamil) which dealt with a serious issue of Sri Lankan Tamils? She remains to be remembered by every audience for her memorable portrayal as a kid who is born to a LTTE couple.
She is none other than Keerthana,the daughter of yesteryear Tamil hero Parthiban and the incredibly good looking actress Seetha. Keerthana was heaped with praises by the critics and common audiences alike for her unpretentious performance in this film. Nobody could have imagined this little kid would grow up to continue her stint in films now! To make things better, she is going to assist her first director Mani Ratnam for the next project!
Mani Ratnam has the knack of identifying the best talent around and he did this once again with Keertahana's ability in directing now. Mani has been a happy man with the success of his romantic flick Ok Bangaram and geared up for the next which stars Malayalam actor Dulquer Salman, Tamil sensation Karthi in lead roles! Sources say that Keerthana would be assisting Mani for this project.
Earlier, actor Siddarth began his showbiz adventure by assisting Mani in directing and then venturing out to acting! Will Keerthana follow the same path? We will have to wait and see!
