Pooja Ramachandran

Pooja Ramachandran, born March 22, 1984, in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, has definitely carved out her own little corner in the Indian film industry. She’s one of those faces you spot and immediately think, “Oh yeah, I’ve seen her in something good.” She’s got a knack for picking roles that stick in your mind—seriously, check out her work in “Kanchana 2” from 2015. That movie’s a wild ride, and Pooja holds her own, not just fading into the background. You see her, you remember her. Before that, she was in “D Company” (2013), which, let’s be real, isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but shows she’s not afraid to jump into something gritty and intense. And don’t forget “Pizza” (2012)—a film that played around with the horror-thriller genre and definitely gave people the chills. Pooja’s not just another actress hopping from one set to the next; she’s got range. She moves between languages, too—Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, you name it—so she’s not boxed in at all. People might not always talk about her in the same breath as the mega A-listers, but she’s consistently turning up in projects that surprise you. Whether it’s a clever supporting role or something more central, she manages to bring this cool, grounded energy. Plus, she’s got that vibe where you get the sense she’s having a good time, even if the movie’s dark or weird. Bottom line? Pooja Ramachandran is underrated, and honestly, if you haven’t watched her movies yet, you’re missing out.
