Bhavana- Being typecast?

Bhavana is facing a major career crisis in Kollywood. Her last four releases - Deepavali, Arya, Rameswaram, Vazthukkal had her playing the "poor little rich girl" who is a bit arrogant in the first few reels but melts for the "goodness in hero character" in the second half!
The trouble is that, her acting style, dialogue delivery, glances, look of the film and even her costumes (a dhawani-pavada scene in all the films) had a "sameness" about it! Bhavana, a very talented actress known for doing emotive roles in Malayalam, has been badly typecast in Tamil.
In Telugu she is making her debut with Gopichand in Ontari due for release on Valentine day. From the stills and posters of the film, Bhavana looks glamorous in Telugu. She has gone for a wardrobe change and is trying her best to look sexy and attractive on screen in Telugu, where she has signed one more film!
Now Bhavana needs to go for an urgent restructuring or an image change in her next Tamil release Jayam Kondaan, where she is playing Vinay's heroine. The stills of the film looks like the story is happening in a village and town. So will the actress take the help of a good stylist and go for an all-new look?
