Debut alongside Ilaya Thalapathi, an appearance that was more than just good enough for an average Kollywood heroine and some hit music like the ‘Achacho Punnagai’ number. This is as much as a heroine requires to gain a foothold in Tamil cinema. But, perhaps not being paired opposite Vijay in the end might have cost Richa Pallod an easy run. She fizzled out pretty soon after a couple of movies.
