According to Sify, once actress Lakshmi Menon was the "the fastest rising star in Tamil cinema". She starred in critically-acclaimed and hit films on after another. The actress even received Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actress two times for Kumki and Sundarapandian.

But, her stride towards success as an actress didn't last long. She was typecasted as a girl-next-door. Tired of acting in similar roles, Lakshmi Menon took a break from her film career to focus on her Class XII board exams and classical dance training.

In 2017, the actress revealed that she was planning on leaving Tamil cinema as she was 'extremely bored essaying the same kind of role in all her films and it was getting too repetitive'. Lakshmi was filming a movie with Prabhu Deva 'Yung Mung Chung', but there hasn't been any news about its release so far.

Fast forward to 2020, the actress has taken social media by storm with her latest photoshoot. She's been away from the film industry for years, and many believe that this is her comeback! Take a look at her posts:
