Career
Thulasi made her acting debut in Maniratnam's Tamil film, Kadal opposite Gautham Karthik. Though Thulasi was auditioned for the role during the casting process, she was not selected as Ratnam opined that she was too young for the role. Post Samantha's exit, she was roped in. During the making, Mani Ratnam requested their respective parents to not let Thulasi or Gautham Karthik be snapped by anyone. Additionally they had to refrain from public appearances. The actress had also refused to appear in an interview for the same reason. Though, her debut movie was not successful at the box office and did not receive good reviews from the critics, she got the opportunity to sign her next film on Maniratnam's recommendation. Her second movie is another Tamil film Yaan opposite Jiiva.
