Transcription
Early life
Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli was born into Tamil family.[4] After completing her master's in social work, specialising in human resources, from the Madras School of Social Work, she worked for a corporate company as an HR professional.[4] As she wanted to pursue "something more creative",[4] she started to work with the theatre group Evam, on their managerial side. Although she never got to act in their plays because of a tight work schedule,[5] she called it "a great platform where I could easily learn how things transformed from paper to performance".[4]
She joined gymnastics before she was 10 years old and started playing cricket, becoming a part of India's B national cricket team, under which she also played a series against the West Indies. She also pursues Ultimate Frisbee. A member of Chennai Ultimate Frisbee, she has regularly participated at Ultimate Frisbee competitions.[4]
Career
While selling tickets for one of Evam's plays, director Magizh Thirumeni approached and asked her to play a supporting role in his film Mundhinam Paartheney. She took leave from work and shot for ten days for the film.[5] After working with director K. Balachander on one of his teleserials, and starting to audition for a role in the TV show, Dharmayudham, she decided to pursue acting full-time. She quit her job and attended several auditions for different roles in the show, eventually landing the role of Sharada.[4] Her first film in a lead role was the black comedy Sutta Kadhai. She played a bold tribal girl called Silanthi in the film,[6] which required her to perform stunts as well,[5] and reviews on her performance were positive.[3] Her sole 2014 release was Angels, which marked her Malayalam debut. Her next Tamil release was Kallappadam by debutant director Vadivel.[7][8] About her role, she said that it was a "well defined and powerful character" and "emotionally very strong".[9] Her portrayal of a retired actress, which Baradwaj Rangan described as the "most fascinating, refreshing character" in the film,[10] was lauded by critics, with Sify stating that "Lakshmi Priya shines in the role".[11] She has also played notable roles in films like Yagavarayinum Naa Kaakka,[12] Kalam and Maya.[13]
