According to me, that’s enough for a person to make the impossible, possible. Jo worked hard and she took just 4 days to complete the song which any other artist would take more than 7 days. She is a kind of girl who will not sleep well until she is happy with her portion. That’s the kind of fiery determination that she has towards her work. she was also offered to act with Mohanlal in Udayon directed by Bhadran but she couldn't do it due to buzy shedules in Tamil.[28] The stupendous success of Chandramukhi made her more fame in Andra and they tried raise a temple for her.[29] Her first release & first hit movie in 2006 was Saravana opposit to Silambarasan after the Megahit movie Manmadhan.[30] Her role in June R was noticed before the release of the film.[31] Jyothika's performance is fine tuned and emotionally engaged.She has underplayed her emotions beautifully.[32][33] Her most hit films in 2006 include Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu, Super Hit crime-thriller film written and directed by Gautham Menon and Sillunu Oru Kaadhal opposite to Suriya.The former was dubbed into Hindi as The Smart Hunt.[34] In an interview Gautham continues to dream up for Jyotika parts that no one's imagined her in before, and she contributes to the kind of mature romantic angle we’ve rarely seen before.[35][36][37] In this film She played a sober, yet strong woman who is wriggling out of a troubled relationship, with great aplomb and finesse. It is a distant Jothika from her usual bubbly self.
[edit]2007 - Present
Her last films were Gautham Menon's Pachaikili Muthucharam and the critically acclaimed Mozhi, both in 2007.Among these Mozhi gaves her a lot of appreciations.Jyothika as Archana Character steals the show. Not surprising, because with every film of hers, we have seen myriad shades of her performance and they have showed us what a seasoned performer she is. She is deaf, she is mute. But she makes all of us talk volumes about her performance, just the way one did after watching Vikram in Pithamagan. She is absolutely credible as the obstinate and confident young woman.[38] Her performance in Mozhi took her very close to winning the National Film Award for Best Actress.[4]However, she lost the award by a narrow margin at the end.[5] In Pachaikili Muthucharam had a crucial role and pulls off a memorable performance
