Former child actor Baby Shamili has now dropped the Baby tag and is simply Shamili. The former star of Mani Ratnam’s Anjali, in which she played a mentally-challenged child and for which she won a National Award, has bagged a role in Rama Narayanan’s new movie Kutti Pusasu. She will begin shooting as soon as she finishes her film-making course in Singapore in April.
Shamili made her first adult appearance last year opposite Sidharth in Oy! This was her first appearance for nine years - what caused the big break? “I used to be very busy as a child artist,” she says, “But my dad and mom insisted on my education. So I took a break for a while and completed my education.”

But I love to share stage and sit next to losers as they’ll surely bring back the bacon home at any cost or situation. Be it Samuthirakkani, Sasikumar or Subramaniam Siva, I’ve been extending my support to them and they’ve made it bigger today…”
