Rising star Samyukta Menon is stepping into new territory with her first female-centric role, joining a distinguished list of powerhouse actresses like Anushka Shetty, Keerthy Suresh, Rashmika Mandanna, and Kajal Aggarwal. Though she’s entering this celebrated realm of female-led narratives, Samyukta humbly distances herself from labeling it as such. “It’s a spectacular story,” she shares, “but I don’t want to label it a female-centric film. Every scene and shot was so well-crafted that I couldn’t say no.”
Samyukta has been building a strong presence in Tollywood, starring in major hits alongside top actors like Sai Dharam Tej in Virupaksha, Dhanush in Sir, and Kalyan Ram in Bimbisara. Known for her roots in Mollywood, where actresses often choose nuanced, substantial roles, Samyukta is now bringing that tradition of meaningful performance to Telugu cinema. According to sources, she’s set to expand her market further with upcoming projects, including a collaboration with Sharwanand and a grand production titled Swayambhu.
Samyukta’s entry into Telugu cinema marks a continuation of the success stories of Malayalam actresses like Nithya Menon, Anupama Parameswaran, Nivetha Thomas, and Keerthy Suresh, who have all captivated audiences with their versatile performances. While actresses like Anupama and Anu Emmanuel remain popular, Samyukta’s unique approach to her roles and her growing portfolio are making her a rising contender in South Indian cinema.
With her undeniable talent and fresh perspective, Samyukta Menon is certainly someone to watch as she redefines what it means to be a leading lady in today’s South Indian film industry.
