Career
Priya made her directorial debut with romantic-comedy Kanda Naal Mudhal (2005) starring Prasanna, Laila and Karthik Kumar. The film received positive critical acclaim during its release with critics praising "Priya deserves a pat on her back for weaving a gossamer romance like her mentor Mani Ratnam sir did in Mouna Ragam or Alai Payuthey. But the film has its own minor drawbacks mostly in narration and lags especially in the second half".[1] The film did well at box-office. However, her second film Kannamoochi Yenada (2007) starring Prithviraj, Sandhya and Sathyaraj received mixed reviews from critics, but it was also commercially successful.[2] In 2008, she planned her third project titled Cheri, but the film did not materialize. She alongside her husband Bhushan Kalyan worked as creative director for television series Uyirmei which was telecasted in Zee Tamil.[3]
After a long gap, she made her comeback to film direction with Aadi Lakshmi Puraana (2018) which marks her debut in Kannada cinema.[4] In 2022, She directed Anantham.[5] In 2024, she directed Pon Ondru Kanden (2024) starring Ashok Selvan, Vasanth Ravi and Aishwarya Lekshmi.[6]
