==Career==
Priya made her directorial debut with romantic-comedy ''Kanda Naal Mudhal'' (2005) starring Prasanna, Laila and Karthik Kumar. The film received positive critical acclaim during its release with critics praising "Priya deserves a pat on her back for weaving a gossamer romance like her mentor Mani sir did in Mounam Ragam or Alaipayuthe. But the film has its own minor drawbacks mostly in narration and lags especially in the second half".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/kanda-naal-mudhal-review-tamil-pclvNTgagifhd.html|title = Kanda Naal Mudhal}}</ref> The film did well at box-office. However her second film ''Kannamoochi Yenada'' (2007) starring Prithviraj, Sandhya and Sathyaraj received mixed reviews from critics and was an average grosser.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/kannamoochi-yenada-review-tamil-pclwyUedicbih.html|title = Kannamoochi Yenada}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-07/kannaamoochi-enadaa-review.html|title = KANNAMOOCHI ENADAA MOVIE REVIEW cast crew SATHYARAJ RADHIKA SARATHKUMAR PRITHVIRAJ SANDHYA SRIPRIYA Direction PRIYA V Music YUVAN SHANKAR RAJA Production RADAAN MEDIAWORKS Ltd UTV MOTION PICTURES movie wallpapers hot stills picture image gallery}}</ref>
