Tollywood Celebrates Rise Of Stunning New Local Heroine

Tollywood often welcomes talent from outside, but every once in a while, a local star shines and makes the industry proud. Shivani Nagaram, the Hyderabadi girl who once played a blink-and-miss role in Jathi Ratnalu, is now the name everyone is talking about. Her journey from short films to the big screen has been steady, and with Little Hearts, she has finally arrived. Playing the role of Katyayani, she captured young audiences and proved that homegrown talent can stand strong even against films of big stars.

What makes Little Hearts remarkable is not just the story, but the way it pulled crowds. Competing with the movies of Anushka and Sivakarthikeyan, the film managed to collect over 12 crores, double its budget. For Shivani, this is more than just a hit, it is a statement that she can carry films on her shoulders. Before this, her role in Ambajipeta Marriage Band gave her recognition, but Little Hearts sealed her as a heroine to watch out for.

Shivani is not stopping with acting alone. She is a trained classical dancer and also a singer. In fact, she lent her voice to a song in Aarambhaam, showing another side of her artistry. With this mix of talent, she is being seen as a complete performer, not just another face on screen.

Next, she is teaming up with Suhas for Hey Bhagwan. Audiences are already curious if she will soon join the league of new-age Telugu heroines like Sri Gouri Priya and Vaishnavi Chaitanya, who started small but are now leading projects. For now, Tollywood seems happy to celebrate the rise of a stunning local heroine who brings freshness and promise.
