Priya Prakash Varrier: News

From going viral with a "wink" on social media to becoming one of the dominant actors in Malayalam and Telugu films, Priya Prakash Varrier is an actress, model, and playback singer. Born and brought up in Kerala, Varrier made a debut in the movie 'Oru Adaar Love' in 2019. It was a romantic drama set in a school. The trailer of the movie had Varrier winking to her partner on the screen. It was just that "wink" that went viral and broke the internet in 2019. She soon became a social media sensation and gained immense popularity. However, she got into a religious controversy on the release of her first film as one of the movie's songs allegedly offended Muslims, who filed a case against Varrier and the makers. In 2019, she sang the song 'Nee Mazhavillu Polen' for the movie 'Finals'. Later, she was cast in the film 'Sridevi Bungalow', her first Bollywood film. In 2021, she also debuted in the Telugu industry with the film 'Check', alongside Nithin and Rakul Preet Singh.
