At the 68th National Film Awards, Sivaranjaniyum Innum Sila Pengalum received three prizes: Best Tamil Film, Best Supporting Actor (Female) (Lakshmi Priya Chandramouli), and Best Editing (Sreekar Prasad).

A three-part anthology titled Sivaranjaniyum Innum Sila Pengalum is based on the short stories of well-known Tamil authors. It details the difficulties faced by women throughout history. Parvathy Thiruvothu and Kalieswari Srinivasan are also featured in the movie.

Lakshmipriya Chandramouli, who played the role of Sivaranjani in the anthology, said, "I am in the middle of a shoot, and the calls and wishes keep pouring in. I haven’t processed what has happened. It will take some time for me to realise what I am going through. I am speechless right now. "

For those who are wondering who Lakshmipriya Chandramouli is, here is everything we know about her.

Chandramouli began working with a theatre company Evam because she wanted to explore "something more artistic." She described it as "a great platform where I could readily discover how things transitioned from paper to performance," even though she was never able to participate in their performances due to her busy job schedule.

Magizh Thirumeni, the director of the movie Mundhinam Paartheney, approached her as she was selling tickets for one of Evam's plays and asked her to play a supporting role. She took a leave of absence from her job to film the movie for ten days.

The black comedy Sutta Kadhai was her first Telugu movie in a leading role. Positive reviews were given to her performance as a tribal woman Silanthi in the movie, which also required her to pull off stunts. After debuting in a Telugu movie, she made her acting debut in Malayalam films in 2014 with Angels.

She has appeared in several films like Malupu, Kalam, Ayynoorum Ayynthum, Ticket, Richie and Cold Case.
