Many of the current South Indian Actresses are born and brought up outside India. Strangely nowadays the producers of South Indian Movie prefer North Indian actress and foreign born Indian actress ahead of local girls from the regions. The reason for this could be the fact that the role of heroine in movies has been reduced to simple glamorous role. North Indian girls and foreign born girls look more at home in doing this glamorous role, which at times local heroines object to.
Recently the trend with Indian film world is to employ the winners of leading beauty pageants as leading ladies in films. The trend has become so popular that the first face any winner of beauty contest will see is that of a south Indian Producer. Vimala Raman has been the latest entrant into the field in this way. Vimala Raman was born into a Tamil family which migrated to Australia. She rose to prominence after winning the Miss India Australia title in 2004. She was also adjudged as the Miss India Australia cyber queen during the course of the contest.
It wasn't a surprise that Vimala Raman's next stop was into the Tamil industry. Vimala Raman debuted in Tamil films with her movie Poi. The movie was directed by legendary Tamil director K.Balachander. The story is about how lies can have a domino effect and how a simple harmless lie may cascade into something really dangerous and life threatening. Uday Kiran was casted as hero opposite Vimala Raman. The film wasn't a great success. Vimal Raman immediately shifted her focus from Tamil Movies to Malayalam movies. She acted with Suresh Gopi in Time and with Ajmal in Pranayakalam. Even though all those films failed, Vimala Raman did make her mark in the field.
