Will Sai Pallavi Impress As A Ruthless Cop?

Sai Pallavi is one of the most talented actresses in the movie industry. She has earned a special place among South Indian audiences through films like Fidaa, Love Story, Premam and Gargi. Unlike many actresses, Sai Pallavi has built her career mainly on natural performances rather than glamour. 

However her latest film Ramayana: Part 1 has brought mixed reactions regarding her performance. Now all eyes are on her upcoming movie O.M, which stars Dhanush and is directed by Rajkumar Periasamy.

The film also features Malayalam superstar Mammootty and Sreeleela in important roles. It is scheduled to release in theatres on November 20.

Interestingly, Sai Pallavi will be seen in a completely different role in this action thriller. She plays IPS officer Nithya Reddy, a former Assistant Superintendent of Andhra Pradesh Police who is now working as an Additional Superintendent with the CBI. 

The recently released glimpse has given audiences a look at Sai Pallavi in a powerful and Ruthless police officer’s role. Until now, many viewers have mostly seen her in emotional, romantic and soft characters.

But in O.M, she appears as a serious and strong officer who takes charge of an important mission. This is a different side of the actress and the role could give her an opportunity to explore action oriented performances.

Also until now, Pallavi has mainly enjoyed strong support from youngsters and class audiences. But OM could help her connect with a wider section of movie buffs especially mass audiences. Playing a powerful IPS officer in an action thriller may bring out a completely different side of her acting. So this movie definitely plays an important role in her career.

So her fans as well as the neutral audience are now waiting to see how she handles this new role. More importantly, whether she can impress mass audiences with her powerful police officer character remains to be seen.
