Easwari Rao is a renowned Indian actress who has made a significant impact in the film industries of Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. Her career, which spans over two decades, began in the 1990s and has been marked by a range of memorable performances.
Born in Rajahmundry, Easwari Rao later settled in Chennai, where she currently resides. She is married to the accomplished director, L.Raja. Easwari Rao's professional journey commenced with the Tamil film, Kavithai Paadum Alaigal, in 1990. Although this early project did not see the light of day in theaters, it laid the foundation for her future success.
Her breakthrough role came in 1997 with Raman Abdullah, a film directed by the acclaimed Balu Mahendra. Following this, Easwari Rao's popularity soared, and she became a sought-after actress. However, she remained selective about her projects, opting out of Koottaali due to concerns about the role's glamour quotient.
Easwari Rao's subsequent films include Guru Paarvai (1998),a Manoj Kumar-directed movie that starred Prakash Raj, Kushboo, and Anju Aravind. She also appeared in Siragugal Murivadhilai, a Bharathiraja-directed film that unfortunately never made it to the big screen. In 2000, she played the role of Prasanth's sister in the Tamil film, Appu.
Over the years, Easwari Rao has transitioned to character artist roles in Telugu movies. Her recent stint in the 2018 Tamil film, Kaala, marked a strong comeback to Tamil cinema, as she portrayed the character of Selvi, the wife of Rajinikanth's character.
