Shamna Kasim Career
In the mid 2010s, Poorna appeared in a series of films where she portrayed a ghost, with The Hindu labelling her as “the ghost queen of Telugu films”.She won critical acclaim for her roles in Avunu (2012) and the sequel Avunu 2 (2015), which led to film makers wanting to cast her in horror films. She turned down several similar scripts, before winning further acclaim for her role as a ghost in Raju Garu Gadhi (2015), which became a surprise sleeper hit at the box office. She is so dedicated to her work that she shaved her head for her role in the movie Kodiveeran (2017) but the movie did not receive a good response from the audience.
