From small screen to big screen!

Today, TV is one of the most popular mediums of entertainment. Of late, theme-based reality shows on TV have attracted viewers' attention. Among the serial actors, anchors and comperes, we have our own favourites. But, after a stint in television, most actors look forward to making a debut in the big screen. For them, meaty roles in movies appeal as the next step of their career growth and rise to fame. The experience of having acted on TV offers these actors an definite advantage over newcomers who aspire to make a direct debut in movies. In case their movie careers do not bloom, TV actors can always return to their original area, namely TV. Here are two recent artists who have migrated from small to big screen.

Divyadarshini, popularly known as DD, is a much-loved anchor in the dance reality shows 'Jodi No. 1' and 'Boys & Girls' on Vijay TV. Her quick, on-the-spot comments and wisecracks are enjoyed by most viewers. She had acted in few movies but started to lent her voice even.. It was DD for Vega's dubbing in the thriller Saroja. Moreover, she is again dubbing for the same heroine (who appears as a typical village girl) in Nadodigal.

Next is the big screen debut of dancer-choroegrapher Satish. Though Satish has danced with his troupe in songs in Unnal Unnale and Vaaranam Aayiram, this step marks his entry as hero in Mudivilla Punnagai directed by Srikanth Ravichandran, associate of director Gautham Menon. All the very best, Satish and DD!
