The cute, bubbly, Mallu girl Bhavana is still at it! She is desperate to shed her girl-next-door image and wants to turn a hottie!
For the Ajith starrer
Asal directed by Saran, Bhavana has undergone a 'shocking' makeover with a glam look. Sporting tights and chic T-shirts with straightened hair, she surely looks a hot babe.
However, her early makeovers in Malayalam film
T-20, a Dileep-starrer turned a real flop. Though she was seen sun-kissing on the beaches of Mauritius in mini-skirts and tops, she flunked badly with her looks.
Hope this new makeover in Tamil will lend her the much-needed recognition. Good luck baby!
