Other Films
Kajal Aggarwal has also worked in the crime-thriller ‘Special 26’, which was one of the biggest hits during the time of its release and has worked alongside Randeep Hooda in ‘Do Lafzon Ki Kahani’, which became a box office failure.
Directed by Neeraj Pandey, ‘Special 26’ was unanimously praised by critics and audience for its gripping screenplay and performances.
Foraying Into Southern Films
While she may have enacted in a number of Telugu flicks, her biggest break came from the SS Rajamouli directorial ‘Magadheera’. The film, starring Ram Charan in the lead was one of the highest grosser that year and Aggarwal's acting was lauded by many, helping her cement her place in the southern film industry.
Tamil Films
Kajal Aggarwal's early films in Tollywood were all duds. Films like ‘Bommalattam’, ‘Pazhani’ and ‘Saroja’ failed to perform at the box office. The Vijay-starrer ‘Thuppakki’, got Aggarwal the much-needed breakthrough. Directed by AR Murugadoss, ‘Thuppakki’ was a turning point in both Vijay and Kajal's career. Kajal has later acted in films like ‘Maattrraan’, ‘Jilla’ and ‘Vivegam’, all of which have been commercial successes.
