Samvrutha Sunil

Samvrutha Sunil (also known as Samvritha) was introduced to the film industry through a Malayalam film Rasikan opposite Dileep. She had acted in several films in Tamil and Malayalam. Samvrutha was born in Kannur district in the state of Kerala. She was a student of St.Theras's college, Kannur.

Her first film didn't create any ripples at the box office, but luckily for her, she was noted. After 'Rasikan', she acted in movies like 'Nerariyan CBI' (2005) and 'Chandrolsavam' (2005). It was her character Sherly in Lal Jose's 'Achanurangatha Veedu' (2005) which became an eye opener to her. She became more popular in the melodious song sequence 'Pachappanamthathe.. ' from the movie 'Nottam' (2006) which had a catchy beat and was picturised well. Her characters in 'Moonamathoral' (2006), 'Pothen Vava' (2006) and 'Vaasthavam' (2006) were memorable. Her latest releases 'Hello' (2007), 'Arabikatha'(2007), 'Chocolate' (2007), 'Minnaminnikoottam' (2008), 'Thirakkatha' (2008) are super hits. She appeared in guest role in Priyanandanan's 'Pulijanmam' (2006) and Rafi Mecartin's Hello (2007). She also appeared in the multi-starrer Twenty:20.

After her Tamil debut 'Uyir' where she played the heroine opposite Srikanth, she has more offers from Tamil, but she has set certain conditions on the kind of roles that she will accept. Her debut Telugu movie was 'Evadithe Nakenti' (2007), a remake of Malayalayam hit 'Lion'. She has proved her credentials as an actress through her roles in severa; Malayalam movies. Her hobbies include watching movies, riding her motorcycle and "sleeping". The title Hello has a special place in Samvrutha's career. It was the title of the first film she had signed. Director Renjith had planned to do a film with the same title. But it got shelved for some reasons. Had it been filmed, it would have been her first film. She was also considered for the movie 'Nandanam' to play Balamani's character, but the shooting was planned during her board examination. So her parents decided against her acting in that film. Starting with Rasikan, Samvritha went on to do three films with director Lal Jose, whom she fondly refers to as her mentor.
