Anantapur-born Priyanka Jawalkar made a successful entry into the showbiz world by playing the female lead opposite Vijay Deverakonda in supernatural-comedy ‘Taxiwaala’.
With positive reviews and good box-office numbers, the film proved to be a successful launch pad for the Maharashtrian in Tollywood.
She managed to impress the viewers in the bubbly role of Anusha with her charming beauty and emoting skills.
Highly active on social media platforms, the 26-year-old starlet is one among the rare Telugu heroines to self-dub in her debut outing itself.
During her college days itself, Priyanka was approached with several offers after she had uploaded a few of her photos on social media.
Her two short films titled ‘Possessiveness’ and ‘It is a girl Issue’ fetched a lot of attention on YouTube. After several auditions, she finally bagged the lead role in ‘Taxiwaala’.
The tag of a ‘Telugu girl’ is likely to work in her advantage as there is a severe scarcity of local actresses.
