Punitah Shanmugam is one of Malaysia’s most promising talents in the local Tamil entertainment scene. With a natural flair for acting and a strong screen presence, she continues to make her mark through meaningful roles that resonate with audiences. She first gained recognition through the Astro Vinmeen telemovie Pooranachandhiran Kudumbathar, Malaysia’s first Tamil-language werewolf series. Her performance received praise for its depth and emotional range, adding strength to a genre that is still new in local productions.

Now, Punitah is ready for her big-screen breakthrough with the upcoming Tamil thriller Aaradhana, set to release in cinemas on 10 July 2025. In this film, she plays Dr. Maya, a pregnant doctor whose life takes a terrifying turn after the discovery of skeletal remains in a remote village. Directed by Malathi Sivagami and starring alongside Auro Chakkaravarthy and Shamini Shradha, Aaradhana promises a gripping story filled with suspense and emotion. Punitah’s role is central to the film, and her performance is expected to leave a strong impact.

With each project, Punitah continues to grow as an actress and storyteller. Her journey from telemovies to feature films is a reflection of her dedication, talent, and love for the craft. As she steps into this exciting new phase of her career, all eyes are on her — and rightly so.

Here at Raaga, we are proud to support and celebrate local talents like Punitah Shanmugam. Don’t miss her big-screen debut in Aaradhana this July — a film that promises to be just as powerful as the actress leading it.
