Vijayashanti is an Indian film actress and a politician from the state of Andhra Pradesh . Prior to joining politics in 2004, she has acted in over 186 movies in seven languages inclTelugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. She is credited as "The Lady Superstar" of South Indian cinema. She has won the National Film Award for Best Actress for Karthavyam in 1991 and she has also won five Filmfare Best Actress Awards in Telugu, four Nandi Awards and the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award (South).
Her given name is 'Shanti'. She began her acting career in 1980 as the leading lady in the Tamil film Kallukkul Eeram ("The moisture inside stone / rock") directed by Bharathiraja. The same year, she debuted in Telugu with the movie Kilaadi Krishnudu , pairing opposite Krishna. She was given screen name "Vijaya Shanthi" based on her aunt and veterna actress Vijaya Lalitha. She got a role in the Telugu film Satyam-Sivam (1981), the cast of which included N. T. Rama Rao and Akkineni Nageswara Rao.
By 1985 she was exclusively acting in Telugu films. She became a Glamour Queen of the Telugu film industry. She is one of the leading actress who played both glamour and performance oriented films. Her glamour roles were brought out by K. Raghavendra Rao and A. Kodandarami Reddy in films like Challenge, Kondaveeti Raja, Pasivadi Pranam,Muddula Krishnaiah, Agni Parvatam, Yamudiki Mogudu, Athaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu, Muddula Mavayya, Kondaveeti Donga, Gang Leader etc. All these films scored her the most successive heroine in late 1980's
In 1992 Mondi Mogudu Penki Pellam was a huge success. She played a role of a bold lady speaking Telangana slang in the role.[citation needed] and the song ‘Laloo Darwaja Laskar’ became a career defining song for her as well. In the 1990s, she was the only actress demanding ₹10 million (US$150,000) as remuneration for a film .[citation needed] Most of her films with Chiranjeevi (19 films) and Balakrishna (16 films) were huge hits and her onscreen chemistry with both the lead actors worked very well at the boxoffice. She has acted alongside Tamil superstars Rajinikanth in the film Mannan as the antagonist and with Kamal Hassan in Indrudu Chandrudu. She also acted with yesteryear heroes likesuperstar Krishna, Shoban Babu.
Her break through movie was Neti bharatham(1983), from there she started acting lady oriented roles teaming up with T.Krishna. In 1985 Pratighatana from the same director won her accolades and a state Nandi award for the first time. Films like Repati Pourulu, Aruna kiranam, Vandemataram and Bharatha Nari are some other movies winning some state awards. In the blockbuster movie Karthavyam (1990), her performance as a tough cop (modeled after real-life supercop Kiran Bedi) won her the National Film Award from Indian Government and an Andhra Pradesh State award for best actress. She became third women to win national award for best actress from Telugu industry. The success of this movie saw her moving away from glamorous roles and limiting herself to tough lady roles. These tough lady roles made her a leading actress at box-office ratings in Telugu films.
In 1990, Karthavyam was dubbed into Tamil as Vijayanthi IPS and its success brought her actress in Tamil cinema as well. (It was also remade in Hindi as Tejaswini, with herself playing the lead role. As expected, Tejaswini did very well at the Hindi box-office). In 1993 she acted in a double action role Police lock up directed by Kodi Ramakrishna was a superhit. After she started concentrating on Action roles, something special is her nativity showing.
In 1997 she did Osey Ramulamma directed by Dasari Narayana Rao was a biggest blockbuster of the year and winning her another Nandi Award. From this film onwards she is mostly called as "Ramulamma" by the people.

P.Susheela rarely sang for Vijayasanthi in Tamil movies. I remember one song "Matha devanayaki" from the movie "Villiyanoor matha". The same song she rendered in malayalam movie "Lourde Mathavu". Also in Kannada, P.Susheela sang a song "Manasiruvudu yeke" for the movie "keralida hennu" which is the remake of telugu movie "Nyayam kavali".
But in Telugu, P.susheela has rendered more than 160 songs for Vijayasanthi. There are many beautiful songs in their combination. The songs count will go up, if we get the dubbing movie songs.
Here is the complete list of songs.
