Ravali, the south Indian beauty seems to have wished to become an actress ever since the times she could remember. She started out her career with screen name as Sailaja, then changed to to Apsara then again to present name Ravali - hoping that this name would bring luck.
It did indeed - by giving her a streak of hit films in Telugu: Ore Rickshaw (1995), Pelli Sandadi (1996), Subhakankshalu (1998) and 'Vinodam'. Despite the hits, she could not get many Telugu films - and but she got busy doing films in Tamil, Kannada and Hindi.
It was Mithun Chakraborty who introduced Ravali to Hindi film through 'Mard'. In Kannada she has paired with Shiv Rajkumar in the movie 'Gadabida Krishna', with 'Jaggesh' in 'Veeranna' and 'Kubera' and with Suman in 'Billa-Ranga'.
In Tamil she did films with Sathyaraj, Arjun Sarja and 'Vijayakanth'. She is getting fewer films in Telugu films these days, as procedures are giving preference to heroines from Bollywood (Mumbai filmdom) than the native ones.
But she is busy doing films in Tamil, Kannada and Hindi - as well as a couple of Telugu films.
