Megha Burman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Megha Burman is an Indian actress working in Hindi and Tamil film industry.

She played the role of Razia in Sohan Roy's Dam,[1] which may have been based on the Mullaperiyar Dam dispute between Tamil Nadu and Kerala.[2] The DMK party chief M. Karunanidhi urged the Tamil Nadu chief minister J.Jayalalitha to ban the movie for "people's safety".[3] A day before its scheduled release on 25 November, the film was banned by the State Government on grounds that its release would disturb relations between Tamil Nadu and Kerala.[4]

She played the lead role in Oru Modhal Oru Kadhal.[5] Her film Ballad of Rustom was a qualifying feature for the Academy Awards in 2014.[6] In 2020, she played the role of Nisha Das in the Hindi language sports drama film Panga.
