Jyotika is definitely on a roll! After she wed her long-time lover and many-times co-star Suriya, the actress just went off the radar, and we all thought that was it. But then being the sweetheart that he is, Suriya himself brought her back to the big screen with 36 Vayadhinile. Marriage and two babies have definitely done oodles of good to the actress – she is looking lovelier than ever. And with Suriya backing her, she seems stronger and more confident.

Releasing this September 15th is Magalir Mattum which is also produced by Suriya's 2D Entertainment. And she also has Nachiyar in the director Bala, in the offing. But what's got our attention most recently is this super revelation.

After her husband Suriya and brother-in-law Karthi, Jyotika is all set to star in Mani Ratnam's next movie. Now that's a big deal! Mani Ratnam has given us some really powerful, mature lead ladies like Revathy in Anjali, Simran in Kannathil Muthamittal and Aishwarya Rai in Ravanan.

In her latest movies Jyotika has proven that she is not just the bubbly girl with an infectious smile – that she can actually carry a movie on her shoulders quite effortlessly. Clearly, Mani Ratnam was as impressed as us!
