We often see the rise and fall of many heroines. Sometimes a status quo is achieved and at other times, surprises are thrown in. Let’s check who the top actresses from Tamil film industry are.

Asin
In Dasavatharam she had nothing much to do. She was not very well utilized in the film. But her talent and confidence have taken her to the top. She sure is above all the glamour dolls. In the Hindi remake of Ghajini opposite Aamir Khan, she displayed her histrionics to the Bollywood. The movie is released and has achieved success. But as she could not give much time to Tamil movies she did not appeal much to the local audiences.

But still she leads the pack of heroines here. She is heard to be demanding a remuneration of Rs 2 crores for film she signs. Asin was the cover girl of July edition of the world's top fashion magazine “Vogue."

She is the first south Indian film actress to be featured on Vogue. Now she is in Bollywood screen with a number of offers from industry toppers. Will she be back to Tamil?

Shriya

Shriya is everywhere. In Kollywood with Kandasamy, in the remake of Arya with Dhanush. In Bollywood with Mission Istanbul and Ek the power of one and in Hollywood with the Deepa Mehta's Stella. This smoking hot beauty is an upcoming international star and the first Kollywood star to act in Hollywood. Shriya truly deserves it for her talent, beauty and acting skills.

Nayantara

Nayantara has reached to most of the Tamil audiences in last year. As long as she have glamour and makes the right choice of films, nothing can stop this lady. Nayantara is remembered in the minds of audience by her provocative poses whether it is Tamil, Telgu or Malayalam.

Nayanthara is a favorite among producers, distributors and theatres, as she has an opening. Some of her male co actors usually called hero doesn’t have much, which makes them go green. It takes a lot of determination to survive in a male dominated industry, where every co actor is trying to pull her down.

Namitha

Namitha’s presence in the Tamil film will make a difference in itself as the mass love to see this sex symbol on screen. This most searched South Indian actress on Google search was seen in movies Pandi, Perumal and Sandai. Audience are waiting to see her in Jagan Mohini, Indira Vizhu. Her break up with boyfriend made her a little distressed. Her so called Nude video turned into an online virus which affected lakhs of computers make this hot bosomed beauty stay in this chart.

Trisha

Trisha finds her place in this chart as she stayed on top both in Telugu and Tamil films
She had a Kuruvi. But her rest of the movies in Tamil like Bheema, Abhiyum Njanum could not appeal to mass. In Telgu she had Bujjigadu opposite Prabhas, and Nagarjuna's King.

Priyamani

Priyamani stands out in this list as she is equipped with beauty and talent. Her impeccable acting skill was seen in Paruthiveeran which earned her good reviews. She was seen in Thota last year. This National award winner’s transformation in Tamil film industry to glam doll has earned her fan following.
