Balachander’s next films during the audio launch event for the Tamil film Poi in February 2006. She accepted his offer and was awarded the lead female part in Selvan’s Balachander-produced Tamil film Krishnaleelai. However, despite continuing to shoot throughout 2008, which was wrapped up in the beginning of 2009, the movie was mired in production hell, and its release was postponed for a number of reasons.
