She’s upped the ante as far as acting is concerned, with Mynaa, Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi and now her Malayalam film Run Baby Run which is the Onam winner at Kerala box-office.

Amala has surprised everyone with her range and love for experimenting with her roles.She was seen in a completely different avataar in Run Baby Run as a young, ambitious, feisty Televison journalist who will go to any extreme to get an “exclusive news”!

Her on-screen chemistry with Mohanlal was rocking and the sensuous number Aattumanal payayil… picturised on the pair has become one of the chartbusters.

“Thanks to my career, I have met a lot of television reporters and anchors. So I didn't have to meet any one specific for my characterisation in the film. Joshiy sir just wanted me to be like one of them in the film and he helped me improvise a lot on the sets” she said.

And on Sunday evening, she was given a rousing welcome by hundreds of Mohanlal fans at Saritha theatre in Kochi where she watched the film, addressed the gathering and even cut a cake.One thing is sure that Amala has the masses eating out of her hands!
