Fans of Ramya aka Divya Spandana have reasons to rejoice. The former Karnataka MP and actor has announced her comeback to films after a hiatus. She also plans to launch her own film production house. 

Ramya, who headed the social media division of the All India Congress Committee previously revealed her future plans on the auspicious day of Ganesh Chaturthi. 

“Happy Ganesha habba everyone. The asihi suddi (sweet news) most of you guessed right. I am going to be doing films again. This time though, I will also be producing through my boutique production house AppleBox Studios,” she stated in a long note she shared on Twitter. 

“If you’re wondering what an apple box is, it’s a small wooden box, most humble and inconspicuous, but very useful on a film set. The apple box has been my constant companion throughout my journey in films. When we didn’t have chairs on sets or if a little height was required for camera or actors the apple box was always there. To me, it was the simplicity of the equipment that inspired me and hence the name,” she wrote.

“AppleBox Studios is currently on the threshold of producing two theatrical films which will be distributed by KRG Studios. I’m very excited about both these projects. AppleBox Studios will also be tip-toeing into the OTT domain with films and web series. Watch out for more announcements on our social media handles across various platforms,” she stated.

“Thank you to the best fans ever, my family, friends, well-wishers and colleagues for your unwavering love and support. Special shout-out to KGF series producer Vijay Kiragandur, producer Jayanna, Yogi G Raj and Karthik Gowda for their encouragement,” Ramya added.

Ramya forayed into Sandalwood in 2006 with the movie Abhi. Among the landmark movies in her career were 'Vaaranam Aayiram' and 'Polladhavan'. 

She quit Sandalwood in 2012 to join politics. A member of the Indian Youth Congress, she won the byelections in 2013 and went on to become an MP. She was the youngest MP of the country.
