Acting career

Parvathy made her cinematic debut through the Bollywood flick United Six directed by Vishal Aryan Singh, which was a box office bomb. She later signed a Malayalam film titled Madan Kolli by Major Ravi, in which she had to play dual roles; one that of a police officer and the other that of a vampire. However, the project was dropped later. In May 2010, she had signed a Tamil film Uma Maheshwaram, which did not take off. She eventually made her Tamil film debut in the 2012 gangster film Billa II, playing Jasmine who, she stated, was "the emotional quotient in David Billa's life". In 2013, she was seen in her first Malayalam film KQ, in which she played a journalist, "a woman of today, strong and independent with her own values". Both releases were box office failures too and she later accused KQ's director Baiju Johnson for cheating. She is currently shooting for the Hindi film Pizza, a remake of the same-titled 2012 Tamil film, produced by Bejoy Nambiar and UTV.
