Bhavana debuted in Malayalam film Nammal opposite newcomers like Siddharth, Jishnu and Renuka Menon. The film was a big success and she got several offers in Malayalam. She has acted with almost all actors of Malayalam including Mammootty, Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep, Jayaram, Prithviraj, Kunchacko Boban, Jayasurya, etc. Though she got several Tamil films she refused them due to tight schedules. The first Tamil film offered was Koodal Nagar opposite Bharath but shelved due to some technical difficulties, but completed and released only in April 2007. Her first released Tamil film Chithiram Pesuthadi was a huge success. After that she was flooded with offers in Kollywood. The subsequent Tamil films she did are Kizhakku Kadalkarai Salai and Veyil. Veyil was a huge hit in Tamil and her character Meenakshi won the accolades of both fans and critics. Her release in February 2007 Deepavali got very good reviews both for her ravishing girl-next-door looks and her acting in several difficult emotional sequences. She is also planning to shift to Telugu films. She is proud of her girl-next-door looks and wants to do roles with a good mixture of glamour and scope for performance.
