Acting career[edit]

Parvathy made her cinematic debut through the Bollywood flick United Six directed by Vishal Aryan Singh.[2] She eventually made her Tamil film debut in the 2012 gangster film Billa II,[3] playing Jasmine who, she stated, was "the emotional quotient in David Billa's life".[4] In 2013, she was seen in her first Malayalam film KQ, in which she played a journalist, "a woman of today, strong and independent with her own values".[5] In August 2013 Parvathy started shooting for the Hindi film Pizza, a remake of the same-titled 2012 Tamil film, produced by Bejoy Nambiar and UTV which was directed by Akshay Akkineni. It released on 26 July 2014, but did not do well in the box office.[6]
