This year has been a happening one for many in the film fraternity. Films finally returned to the theatres after the pandemic making both film buffs and filmmakers joyous. This year was a year of risk for many filmmakers and actors who released their movies in theatres as people were used to watching movies on OTT platforms over the pandemic. However, some performers decided to take the leap of faith as they debuted in various Tamil movies and series, that was released both on OTT and in the theatres. Out of the many debutantes, here’s a list of 10 Tamil actresses who made striking debuts this year.

• Aditi Shankar:

Daughter of veteran Director Shankar, Aditi Shankar debuted in Tamil cinema with Muthaiah’s Viruman. She acted as the main lead alongside Karthi, in a film that had an ensemble cast. She portrayed the role of a village belle and busted some amazing dance moves throughout the film. A Doctor by education, Aditi is also adept at singing. In fact, she sang the song ‘Madhura Veeran’ in her debut film along with Yuvan Shankar Raja. Unfortunately, Aditi’s character did not have much depth in Viruman. However, she established that she is here to stay and we hope to see her in better roles in the near future. Currently, she working on Madonne Ashwin’s Maaveeran co-starring Sivakarthikeyan.
