Career

Jaya starred in Adavi Ramudu in 1977, which burst box office records and permanently bonded her star status. K. Viswanath remade Siri Siri Muvva into the Hindi film Sargam and introduced her to Bollywood in 1979. The movie became a huge hit and Jaya became an overnight star there as well. She earned her first Filmfare nomination as Best Actress, but couldn’t capitalize on her success, as she couldn’t speak Hindi.

It took 3 more years before director K. Vishwanath relaunched Jaya again in Hindi movies, with the hit movie Kaamchor in 1982, where she spoke Hindi fluently for the first time. She was then able to consistently work in Hindi movies and earn 2 more Filmfare nominations as Best Actress for playing Amitabh Bachchan’s endearing girlfriend in Prakash Mehra’s Sharaabi in 1984 and for her challenging double role in K. Vishwanath’s Sanjog in 1985.

Along with her Bollywood film career, Jaya resumed starring in acclaimed movies in the South including Sagara Sangamam in 1983. She gained an audience, not just with the pieces, but also with the great Indian director Satyajit Ray, who has said she was one of the loveliest women in the world.
