 In
Kovilpatti Veeralakshmi, she dons the role of a lifetime as an innocent
Dalit woman, Veeralaksmi who takes on the law and the might of a caste dominated society in the village of Kovilpatti with her willpower and the much needed weapon in her hand to fight for her rights and others too. 'Kovilpatti Veeralakshmi' is more like the South's answer to Shekhar Kapoor's 'Bandit Queen.'
