She played a mother of an unborn child in the film, which was also released in Telugu as Kanam. Her second Tamil outing is Dhanush’s Maari 2, in which she collaborates with the star for the first time.

Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas, who has worked in films such as Oru Mexican Aparatha and Godha and recently in Dhanush’s maiden Malayalam production Tharanga, has been roped in to play the baddie in Maari 2. The film will be made as a bilingual in Tamil and Telugu. Apart from Maari 2, Pallavi also has Suriya – Selvaraghavan film Ngk in her kitty currently.
