Abhirami was just 13 when she acted in Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Kathapurushan. When she returned as an adult, she failed to match reigning queen Manju Warrier's overwhelming popularity. Abhirami switched to Tamil, where her first film Vaanavil opposite action star Arjun, was a big hit. Again, though, she was never as popular as the Tamil industry's top three actresses -- Devyani, Jyothika and Simran. Even if she is having a hand full of pictures from tamil,kannada,telegu and malayalam.
