Priyamani is a perfectionist who over a period of time has proved that she is an actress of substance. Director’s belief in their script increases two folds after Priya agrees to become a part of it.

After her sterling performance as the protogonist's sister in both the Tamil and Hindi version of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, she is all set to be Mammootty’s heroine in Ranjith directed Pranchiyettan and the Saint, a Malayalam black comedy.

Ranjith is an off- beat director who has made some of the recent best Malayalam films and Priya almost got her second National Award for her outstanding performance in Thirakatha, a film based on the life and times of late actress Srividya.

In Ranjith’s film, she is pitted against another National Award winning actor Mammootty. Priya has given 18 days call sheet for the film for which shooting starts in the first week of July in Thrissur.

For Priya, it is another feather on her cap, and it will be treat to see her competing with Mammootty. After all, making the right professional move is only a part of her character sketch.
