Sai Pallavi has a lot to look forward to films wise. While her last release might have failed to garner enough interest, her next film – Maari 2 – has the Premam actress perform a rather different role. Unconfirmed sources have said that she might play the role of an auto driver in the film! While we aren’t sure if she’s inspired by Rajinikanth’s auto driver character in Baasha, one can surely say this would be a rather different take on it.

Sai Pallavi is collaborating with Dhanush for the first time in Maari 2, a sequel to director Balaji Mohan’s 2015 film. The film also stars Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Tovino Thomas as the antagonist, and Krishna Kulasekaran.

Last week, along with the team of Maari 2, she celebrated her 26th birthday. The film’s team was dressed in white to surprise her! Turns out, it’s her favourite colour.

The whole family of Maari wore white (Coz that’s my fav colour) n made me so happy that I had tears of joy ❤️ Thank u Nivedha darling 😘 #toomuchpampering #lovenloveonly

The actress was recently seen in Diya, her Tamil debut, directed by AL Vijay. The film dealt with abortion, simultaneously releasing in Telugu as Kaanam. She has other projects in the pipeline including Selvaraghavan’s NGK with Suriya Sivakumar. She will also be seen in adi Padi Leche Manasu, with the first-look shared on her birthday.
