Many yesteryear lead actresses have, in recent times, made successful comebacks to films with supporting roles in movies. These include actresses like Vijayshanti, Bhanupriya and Ramya Krishnan, who have all started their second innings in the Tamil as well as Telugu film industries. One of their contemporaries, Nirosha Radha is also in need of a comeback film. She had received an opportunity with the Rajinikanth-starrer Laal Salaam, but the movie’s lukewarm response and underperformance at the box office has led to a missed opportunity on her part. Reportedly, the film’s failure has resulted in no further offers for her from the industry.
Nirosha started her career in 1988 with Mani Ratnam’s Agni Natchathiram, which was a runaway success. She appeared in films like Soora Samhaaram, Senthoora Poove and Paravaigal Palavitham in quick succession in the same year, a unique feat for a newcomer. These films established her as a bankable actress in the Tamil film industry. For the next decade, she delivered many hits and also dabbled with all the other three South Indian film industries. Nirosha’s films with Rajendra Prasad and Mohan Babu in the action genre were quite successful at the box office.
After getting married to actor Ramki in 1995, Nirosha toned down on the number of films she appeared in and then took a hiatus from acting. Her post marriage films, where she shifted to supporting roles, were not too successful. Last year, she received an offer to appear as Rajinikanth’s wife in the much hyped sports drama film Laal Salaam.
In an interview, Nirosha said that one of the main reasons that she had taken up the role was because Rajinikanth’s daughter, Aishwariya Rajinikanth was directing it. Both she and Rajinikanth had limited screen time in the film, and her performance was appreciated.
