Career

Bharathi was signed on by director Padmamagan to be a part of Ammuvagiya Naan (2007), after several leading actresses had turned down the role. She portrayed a prostitute who attempts to ease back into society, and won critical acclaim for her portrayal with a reviewer noting she was "blessed with a role of her lifetime". [2] [3] Despite the success of Ammuvagiya Naan, Bharathi failed to get good offers in Tamil films and instead signed on to feature in Malayalam films. The actress signed on to appear in Anwar Rasheed's Annan Thambi (2008) opposite Mammootty, but was later replaced by Lakshmi Rai. [4] She then however moved on to work in Biju Pal's Aayudham (2008), featuring alongside Suresh Gopi. [5] The film failed to become a box office success, and subsequently failed to garner further big budget film offers for Bharathi.[ citation needed ] She was also seen in Agathiyan's romantic film Nenjathai Killadhe (2008) with Vikranth and in Satrumun Kidaitha Thagaval (2009), a low-budget thriller, featuring stunt choreographer Kanal Kannan in the leading role. [6] [7]

Bharathi subsequently turned down approaches to be a part of Engal Aasan (2009) and Enga Raasi Nalla Raasi (2009), and chose to quit the film industry after her marriage to her manager, Murugan. [8] In 2010, she expressed a desire to make a comeback to acting. [9] She began work on Rudhram, a television soap drama on Jaya TV in late 2012.
