Meet specially-abled actor who debuted at 18, performs through imitation, is skilled in Bharatnatyam and has done 58 films so far
Meet the actor who, until now, has proven to everyone how acting can be a mode of expression for the specially abled as well. She has worked with some of the biggest stars across South cinema and was recognized for her exceptional skills in Bharatanatyam. Can you take a guess at who we are speaking about? Yes, it's Abhinaya. Who is Abhinaya? Born in November 1991, Abhinaya has cemented her fame across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada cinema. She is both speech and hearing impaired, and yet it has not stopped her from being one of the most sought-after stars in regional cinema. Due to her disabilities, Abhinaya found it difficult to cope with mainstream schooling. She also attended a school for the specially abled. However, she found it challenging to pursue academics and subsequently left education after the 10th standard. Abhinaya's foray into modelling and films One of her inherent passions from the beginning was the art of imitation and performance, which eventually led her to pursue a career in films. With additional years of therapy and training, she was partially able to overcome her speech and hearing impairments. At the age of 17, Abhinaya forayed into acting with the 2009 Malayalam film Naadodigal, which led to her gaining fame and attracting the attention of many. How Abhinaya's parents helped her fuel her passion for acting Well, her journey towards such a competitive space like movies wasn't easy, especially since she had been specially abled. Abhinaya's first step towards it began by mastering sign language along with learning lip-reading in English. According to an IMDb report, the actress had also undergone a Cochlear implant procedure, which enabled her to hear with the aid of a machine. Initially, her mother used to help her write all the dialogues from the scripts in full English and thereafter practice with her before her shot. In fact, many of her co-artists also helped her continually, to the end where she did not need to be given many takes for a scene. Abhinaya bagged her debut due to her phenomenal dancing skills Besides acting, Abhinaya is exceptionally talented in Bharatanatyam, a skill that eventually helped her secure her debut film, Naadodigal. Well, director Samudrakani came across her photoshoot and dancing skills in a video, which prompted him to cast her in his Malayalam movie. Fame into movies, shift towards Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films Following the massive success of Naadodigal, Abhinaya was cast to star in the Kannada and Tamil remakes of the same film. The project and its remakes fetched her a number of awards as well. Thereafter, she was lined up with several promising offers. These included Jr NTR's Dammu, Nagarjuna's Dhamarukam, Suriya 's Aum Arivu, and much more. In 2015, Abhinaya signed her Malayalam debut with The Reporter. The same year, she also made her debut in Bollywood with the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Shamitabh. Abhinaya's personal life The actress maintains an active presence on Instagram, where she regularly posts glimpses of her life and work. In March 2025, Abhinaya got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Vegesena Karthik. The same year in April, the couple tied the knot in a grand affair in Hyderabad. Abhinaya's work front Coming to her film career, the last year of 2024 saw Abhinaya deliver one of her path-breaking performances alongside Joju George in the movie Pani. Her performance was immensely lauded by the audiences and critics alike. Moving on, the year 2025 will see Abhinaya being part of Nayanthara 's film, Mookuthi Amman 2, as well as Demonte Colony 3.

Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa To Release On OTT? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Vishnu Manchu had earlier said that the movie's OTT rights had yet to be sold. Kannappa, a mythological drama produced by actor Vishnu Manchu, was released in theatres on June 27. The film starring Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal and Vishnu himself, has received a lot of appreciation for its gripping story. In the midst of enormous buzz around the picture, reports suggest that just after 4 weeks since its release, the movie is likely to start streaming on OTT. According to 123Telugu, Kannappa, starring Vishnu Manchu, will be released on Amazon Prime Video on July 25. If the claim is correct, the movie will be available on digital platforms less than a month after its theatrical premiere as opposed to what Vishnu Manchu has earlier stated. During a pre-release event, Vishnu Manchu made it clear that the film will not be available on any streaming platform immediately. Vishnu revealed that the film's OTT rights had yet to be sold, which is a deliberate decision that would allow the film to have a longer theatrical run without the constraints of its OTT release date. Vishnu said, 'I have a very large freedom; my movie will not come to OTT before 10 weeks. That is the deal I have, and by God's grace, I don't have any release pressure. My only intention is to showcase the best to the audience," as quoted by India Today. The movie features an amazing cast and noteworthy cameos. Vishnu Machu portrays a valiant warrior who transforms into Lord Shiva's devoted servant, Bhaktha Kannappa. Akshay Kumar plays Lord Shiva, Prabhas portrays Rudra, while Mohanlal delivers a stunning performance as Kirata. Kannappa tells the story of Thinnadu, a young, ferocious tribal hunter who is atheist. However, one day, the man uncovers a Shiva Lingam in the forest that changes the course of his life. The film was produced by Twenty-Four Frames Factory and AVA Entertainment. Kannappa, which has been released in five languages (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi), provides a visually magnificent and emotionally profound spectacle about devotion and mythology.

Bhumi Pednekar: Love is beautiful, but complex
Bhumi Pednekar Bhumi Pednekar , known for her strong and unconventional roles, has rarely ventured into traditional romance on screen. Speaking about her selective approach to the genre, she says, 'I will only be a part of the genre when the story has more to say than just boy-meets-girl and they fall in love. Having said that, it's a very beautiful emotion. I am not trying to undermine that. I just think love is one of the greatest things that can happen to any individual. But it is also complicated and complex. So, I like being a part of stories that show multiple shades.' 'Everybody goes through complex love situations' Ask Bhumi whether she calls love 'complicated and complex' based on her personal experiences, and she says, 'I think everybody goes through complex love situations. It is not just about what I have gone through, but what I have heard from my friends, people within my family and my parents. I think growing up, you completely dehumanise your parents, but as you grow up, you realise how sensitive and complex their relationship was and how they made it work. At times, couples don't make it work. Today, there is such pressure about relationships not working out. But at times it can also be celebrated because maybe that is the best thing that happened for individuals that were in it.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I Babysat My Grandkids Daily for Free.

'For me, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was a transformational film' Reportedly, Bhumi will be seen with Imran Khan in the latter's comeback film, which is apparently a quirky romantic drama. Without revealing anything, she says, 'I think a romcom is a perfect comeback genre for Imran, because when he was actively working, he was known for that genre. I had a crush on him. For me, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was a transformational film,' says Bhumi, who was recently seen opposite Ishaan Khatter in the web show The Royals.
