Career

[edit]

Abdullah originally worked as a theatre actress.[5][4] In 2021, she switched to film, with the Telugu release Jathi Ratnalu. While pursuing Mass Communication at Loyola College, Hyderabad, she met producer Nag Ashwin who visited the campus as chief guest for an event and he asked her if she was interested in acting in one of his productions and she auditioned for the role. She learnt Telugu for a couple of years and dubbed for the film. [6][7][8] Regarding her role, Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote that "Faria has a good screen presence and holds her own among the three madcaps".[9] In an interview in 2023 she declared that her public image had remained closely associated with that role,[10] for which she was nominated at the 10th South Indian International Movie Awards, held in 2022.[11] She then played lead roles in the films Like, Share & Subscribe in 2022,[12] and Ravanasura in 2023.[13] The same year Abdullah made her first appearance on a streaming series, The Jengaburu Curse, in which she plays the main character: the series, her debut in Hindi, was released on 9 August 2023.[14][15]

In 2022, Abdullah's Tamil debut film, Valli Mayil directed by Suseenthiran, was announced.[16] The film is in post-production as of late 2023.[17][18][19] The release of a teaser confirmed she plays a lead role in the film.[20] On 22 March 2023, a first look of Allari Naresh's film, tentatively titled Naresh61, was released, and it was revealed that Abdullah also starred in the film.[21] On 27 August 2024, a first look of Abdullah was released from Mathu Vadalara 2, which will be a sequel to a 2019 film Mathu Vadalara, starring Sri Simha Koduri.[citation needed]
