This danseuse got her ticket into the Tamil
film industry with Thiruda Thirudi where she
was paired with Dhanush. Few people can remember
what the two were fighting about throughout
this zany love story but nobody is likely
to forget the insanely popular Manmada Rasa
track.
Chaya Singh and Dhanush danced like never
before for this granddaddy of Kuthu numbers
and absolutely electrified viewers. At the
time of its release and many months after
(or was it years) you could go no place in
Tamil Nadu without hearing this raunchy number
blaring over a loudspeaker somewhere.
Unfortunately for Chaya, she did not have
the lifespan of the song. She had hit item
numbers with Vijay and Vikram, but could not
manage to make it as a heroine with films
like Vallamai Tharayo and Anandhapurathu Veedu
failing to open doors for her. Currently,
she is trying her luck on the small screen
with Nagamma but she has all but disappeared
from the silver screen.
