Bala’s earlier films ‘Nanda’ & ‘Pithamagan’ were significant ones in Laila’s career which didn’t have a large number of hit movies. Known more for her dimpled smile than for her acting credentials, Laila starred opposite almost all the leading heroes of her times except Vijay. She debuted opposite Vijayakanth almost a decade back in ‘Kallazhagar’.
Despite a mother of two children, she still has her waistline intact and hasn’t put on oodles of weight. Reports say that Bala got in touch with her and asked her to do a small role in ‘Avan Ivan’. Laila, who was said to be awaiting a chance for a comeback, reportedly agreed to Bala’s offer.
In keeping with his usual style, Bala has asked Laila not t commit herself to any other film before completing ‘Avan Ivan’. Laila, therefore, joins Suriya as the second ‘guest star’ in the film which has raised expectations about the film from the fans of all these stars!
