Thulasi Nair is an Indian film actress who has appeared in Tamil language films. After making her debut in Mani Ratnam's 2013 drama film Kadal, she has since gone on to work on Ravi K. Chandran's directorial debut Yaan (2014).Thulasi is the daughter of former actress Radha and a hotelier Rajashekharan Nair and is the niece of actress Ambika. She is a younger sister of Karthika Nair who is also a South Indian actress. Her appearance was kept away from the media prior to release, with a clause in her contract preventing her from partaking in media interaction. The film opened in February 2013 to mixed reviews and the film became a commercial failure at the box office. Thulasi's performance won positive reviews from critics, with Rediff.com noting that "when the script demands that she come to life at the end she manages to do it well.'' Similarly, another reviewer added "Thulasi, is natural and has lent an air of grace to her role", while Sify.com wrote "though she has a very little screen space, she has tried her best to do a fair job of the young, chirpy girl.
" Her performance could fetched nominations for Best Female Debut Actress at the Vijay Awards and the South Indian International Movie Awards in 2014 Before the release of Kadal, cinematographer Ravi K. Chandran signed on Thulasi to appear in a leading role in his maiden directorial venture, Yaan (2014). In Yaan, Thulasi played Srila, daughter of a retired defence officer, who lives in Chennai.
Featuring alongside Jiiva, the film was shot extensively in Morocco and released in October 2014 to negative reviews and became a surprise failure at the box office.[11] She received mixed reviews for her portrayal with Behindwoods.com noting "she gets a better outing this time, and has some range of expressions in her bag". In comparison, Rediff.com wrote that she is "barely recognisable", and that £there is barely any chemistry between the lead pair", while describing the film as a "terrible bore"
