Career

[edit | edit source]

Priyanka made her debut in the Kannada film Ondh Kathe Hella, directed by Girish G in 2019.[5] Later that year, she starred in the Telugu film Nani's Gang Leader directed by Vikram Kumar.[2] Krishna Sripada of The News Minute on her performance wrote "Priyanka has all the makings of a female protagonist directors will seek, doe-eyed innocence and a natural feel for the camera, as she subtly does exactly what is expected and not more or less".[6] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Pinkvilla commented "Newcomer Priyanka Arul Mohan makes a confident debut and she's a terrific find".[7] She also shot for the English version of the bilingual film Mayan and Tik Tok; however, both films were delayed.[8][9]

In 2021, she made her Tamil debut with Sivakarthikeyan's Doctor, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar.[10] Both the film and her performance received positive response. The film grossed 100 crores in worldwide box office and became a major critical and commercial success.[11] She won SIIMA Award for Best Debutant Actress.[12] In 2022, she played the lead female role in her second Tamil film Etharkkum Thunindhavan with director Pandiraj, starring Suriya.[13] Reviewing her performance, Ashwin Ram of Movie Crow stated "Priyanka Mohan is a pleasant surprise, she is great on-screen and also her character gets a major importance at a crucial stage in the film, she scores with easing grace".[14] Pinkvilla wrote "Priyanka doesn't have much to do in the plot but adds a dose of glamour to the film."[15] She also played the lead in the Tamil film Don, with Sivakarthikeyan after Doctor.[16][17] The film received mostly positive reviews from critics and audience.[18] S Subhakeerthana of OTT Play wrote "Priyanka Mohan makes her presence felt with whatever she was offered."[19] She then appeared in Captain Miller starring Dhanush and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram with Nani.[20] Her last release for the year was Brother, directed by M. Rajesh,[21] where she stars alongside Jayam Ravi.[22] Praveen Sudaven from The Hindu wrote "Priyanka Mohan’s character is underwritten, mostly limited to “love interest” status, and her underwhelming performance doesn’t help." The film was met with negative reviews and was a Box-office bomb.

In 2025, she made a cameo appearance in the song "Golden Sparrow" in the film Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam directed by Dhanush. She revealed that the team shot the song in one day without any rehearsal.[23] Her next film They Call Him OG, starring Pawan Kalyan released on 25 September 2025 which received mixed-to-positive reviews. The Times of India reviewed her performance stating "Priyanka Arul Mohan’s Kanmani feels underwritten." while The Hindu stated " Priyanka Arul Mohan does what she can within a limited scope.".[24][25][26][27] She will next star alongside Kavin in an untitled fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Ken Royson.[28]
