Raashii Khanna, who works predominantly in Tamil and Telugu films, feels roles for actresses in the South are no longer just about being pretty. The actor made her mark with Telugu films such as ‘Tholi Prema’, ‘Venky Mama’ and ‘World Famous Lover’, after making her acting debut with Shoojit Sircar’s 2013 Hindi film ‘Madras Cafe’.

‘It’s still a male-dominated industry but I think women are making their way ahead considering the new kind of films that are coming,’ Raashii tells IANS.

‘When I started my career, I was very lucky to start my career with ‘Oohalu Gusagusalade’, which was a Telugu film and it established me as an actor, but post that everything that I got was very commercial. ‘Tholi Prema’ was a film that changed things for me because people then said that ‘she can act also’,’ she claims.
