==Career==
When she moved to [[Mumbai]] to pursue a career in acting, she got to know, that the producers of the Telugu film ''[[Bunny (2005 film)|Bunny]]'' were looking for a new face to play the leading female role opposite [[Allu Arjun]]. She met the producers and immediately got the role of Mahalakshmi Somaraju, eventually becoming an actress. The film went to become a box office hit, after which she received acting offers from other South Indian film industries as well. She debuted in [[Kannada]] in the same year with the film ''Namma Basava'', whilst in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] she played leading roles in ''Sri Krishna 2006'' and ''[[Gopi - Goda Meedha Pilli]]''.

Gowri Munjal then got the offer to essay the female leading role in a Tamil film, directed by [[P. Vasu]], starring his son [[Sakthi Vasu]] in the lead role, following which she starred in another Tamil film ''[[Singakutty]]'' opposite [[Sivaji Ganesan|Sivaji Ganesan's]] grandson, named Sivaji as well. Both the film were unsuccessful at the box office, failing to gain her popularity and fame in Kollywood. In Telugu, however, she got to play a vital role in ''[[Kausalya Supraja Rama]]'' as [[Charmy Kaur|Charmi's]] sibling, whilst in Kannada she enacted the female lead in ''Jaaji Mallige'', a remake of the Tamil film ''[[Devathayai Kanden]]''. In 2009 then, she got a role in a Malayalam film ''Paleri Manikkam'', a [[crime thriller]], based on the same-named novel by T. P. Rajeevan, which was directed by popular director [[Ranjith (director)|Ranjith]] and in which she appeared opposite Malayalam actor [[Mammootty]].
