She will play the lead role in 'Poda Podi' to be produced by Shanaya Tele Films. Varalaxmi obtained her Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Edinborough University and formal exposure to acting in the acclaimed Anupam Kher School of Acting in Mumbai.

Shanaya Films had churned out several Hindi movies like 'Champion' starring Sunny Deol.

The movie directed by Vignesh Siva features Silambarasan in the lead role. The entire film would be shot in Canada.

Varalaxmi, who is well versed in Salsa and Ballet, was flooded with several offers. Beginning her journey with the blessings of Radhika Sarathkumar and Sarath Kumar, she is keen to scale greater heights.

On his part, Sarath Kumar said, ' I always encourage and motivate my children. Though she chose to become an actress, I wanted her to complete her studies first. Having completed her education and preparing herself for her launch in tinsel town, I gave her the go ahead'.

It is interesting to note that when the same news was published some weeks ago, there was a lot of denial in the air. But then all the confusion has been put to rest and it is official and confirmed. Varalaxmi is starting her journey in tinsel town.
